The Best Cheese Ball

2 pkg. 8oz cream cheese, softened
¼ c green pepper, finely chopped
¼ c onion, finely chopped
1 t. season salt or Cajun seasoning
sm. Can crushed pineapple, drained
¼ c chopped pecans or hole pecans
Combine first 5 ingredients. Shape into a ball. Top with pecans. Wrap with plastic wrap and Refrigerate. Serve with crackers.
Decorative Option: Make the Cheese Ball look like a pineapple.
Place cheese ball mixture on a serving platter. Shape in an oval. Make the top wider than the bottom. Starting at the pointed end place whole pecans in a row going up the oval leaving space at the top for green onion sprigs as the “pineapple” top.
