Ingredients
- 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (4.25 ounces) deviled ham
- 1/2 cup drained crushed pineapple
- 3 tablespoons finely minced green bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely minced onion
- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
- Crackers, for serving
Method
- Beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the deviled ham, pineapple, bell pepper, onion, and hot sauce and mix until everything is evenly combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 45 minutes, until the mixture is firm enough to shape.
- Scrape the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap, gather the wrap around it, and shape it into a ball. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes more, or until ready to serve (up to 2 days).
- Spread the chopped pecans on a plate. Unwrap the cheese ball and roll it in the pecans, pressing gently so they coat the outside evenly.
- Set the cheese ball on a serving plate, surround it with crackers, and serve chilled.
