Pineapple Cheeseball

2 8 oz boxes of cream cheese, softened
8 oz crushed pineapple, drained
2 Tbsp onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup green pepper, finely chopped
1/4 tsp seasoned salt
2 cups pecans, finely chopped and separated into 2 separate cups

*Mix everything but 1 cup of the pecans. Mash and mush it together.
*Refrigerate until firm.
*Take out and form.
*Roll cheeseball in remaining cup of pecans.

Notes:
I got this recipe from Linda Lawson in 2000. I just made it for the first time last week at a get-together at our house. I heard from most of the people who tried it that it was yummy! I love this cheeseball!

To form my cheeseball after it's firm, I wrap it in saran wrap then shape it, so my hands don't get all over the cheese.

I bought Wheat Thins and the Club cracker Sticks to go with this. I loved the Wheat Thins with it. I imagine your favorite cracker would be great! Enjoy
