Guests loved it. It was a little loose for a cheese ball, so I placed it in a dip dish.
Katherine Harris
This cheese ball is just like my stepmom makes and it’s amazing.
Alexandra Wallace
Was tasty. The family enjoyed the taste after it settled for a day. I would make it again.

I’ve made this cheese ball for many years. Always a crowd pleaser. Once mixed, I normally half the recipe (with exception of pecans) and freeze one half for later use and roll half of recipe in one cup pecans. When I use frozen half, after defrosting I roll it in a cup of chopped pecans.

Best cheese ball ever! I’ve made this for years and everyone raves about it and it won’t last long!
Eddie Henderson
Made it as the recipe directed. Drained the pineapple and used paper towels to dry as another user suggested. It was very good and easy to make. I’ll make this again.
Caleb Fisher
I used Cashews instead of pecans. Loved it.

This recipe is a hit whenever I make it. Just made it for a Christmas party and shaped it like a tree, i put less nuts on the outside so I could put fresh parsley to make it as a Christmas tree. I added small pieces of red pepper and 3 slices of almond around the red pepper to decorate the tree. Everyone raved about the presentation and the wonderful taste asking for the recipe.

Very easy to make. I only used 1 1/2 bars of cream cheese since I didn’t need that much. I did every thing else the same and based on reviews I made sure my pineapple was drained real well.

It’s a great cheeseball or spread as is! I tried mixing in blue cheese crumbles and is also delicious.
Helen Armstrong
I used Salad Supreme instead of seasoning salt.
Elijah Smith
I made this many times and I added 1/3t paprika and 2T worcestershire, and a dash of hot sauce for a sweet punch! I could eat the whole cheese ball by myself! That’s how good it is!!!
Gerald Thornton
Loved it! Guests loved it!

TRY !!!

This was pretty good. BTW – what is 1/4 of a TABLESPOON? The1TB of diced onion appeared a little strong but otherwise I thought it was good.
Charles Vargas
Have made this for Christmas reception for years and it is always a hit. The grated onion and pineapple in it are essential even though they sound strange together. It is a great cheese ball!
Karen Smith
It is fantastic. I had to make it a few times to get the consistency right. It is a hit with everyone that taste it! 🙂
James Flowers
Made this cheese ball last night for our Christmas party and it was a real hit! I took the advice of others and used a paper towel to soak up the excess moisture from the crushed pineapple. I was amazed that the small amount of the onion and green pepper was such a wonderful enhancement to the cheese. This recipe makes a very large cheese ball.

I did not use the peppers… it is always a hit at the christmas party and parties

I’ve been using this recipe for years. It always receives rave reviews. I can make 2 largish or 3 mediumish cheese balls from this recipe. You can freeze them! I wrap it in a ball shape in wax paper then freeze. Also I have started using the smaller pecan chips instead of chopped pecans. They seem to stick better to the outside.
