I didn't care for this recipe. It basically tastes like a sharp cheddar cheese ball, except not a very exciting one. And I found the texture from the chipped beef and crushed pineapple to be unappealing. Why make something with pumpkin as an ingredient if you can't taste pumpkin? What is the point?

I doubled the recipe and it was enough to make 3 nicely sized cheeseballs. I took one portion out before adding in the beef so that our vegetarian friends could have one too. This one had more of an issue holding its shape at first. So I put it in the freezer for a while, making sure not to freeze it completely. This helped hold the shape a lot. It was a great appetizer for our pumpkin dinner, but it was a little bland. I was hesitant on adding in the raw onion (thinking it would be too potent) but it still was not flavorful enough. It is a good baseline recipe that I will use in the future, but I will experiment with spices next time.

I used walnuts instead of the beef... I just can't imagine beef in a cheese ball...

I made this for a Halloween party and everyone loved it. I didn't put the pineapple in and substitiuted bacon for the beef. Also added a tablespoon of red bell pepper. I made this the day before so the flavors would blend together. Also used my food processor as some people don't like onions.

I'm rating the cheese ball I made. I really modified it. I omitted the pineapple and used real bacon bits instead of dried beef. I also added a half a package of ranch dressing powder mix. It was a huge hit!

I added more onion and more pumpkin than the recipe called for. I doubled them. I also added some bacon bits and garlic salt for added flavor. I shaped mine into a flat pumpkin on the platter which was much easier. Recipe is a little bland as is, but spice it up a bit! It turned out great!

I made this for a family BBQ and it seemed to go over pretty well despite the odd combination of ingredients. I served with carrot chips and wheat thins. It makes a ton! I will definitely make it again.

I made this cheese ball before and lost the recipe. It always gets great reviews. The mixture of all the ingredients makes for a surprising delicious cheeseball. Great for the fall.
