How to cook Bacon-Jalapeno Cheeseball

1. Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl, withholding ½ the bacon, ½ of the jalapeños, and ½ of the pecans for the outer coating.
2. Form the mixture into a large football shape, or 2 small baseball shapes. ( It helps to use damp hands.)
3. Spread the remaining bacon, jalapeño, and pecans in a pie plate. Roll the ball in the coating and press into it to coat.
4. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving with crackers or pretzels. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce for some extra sweet spice!

NOTES:

This spicy, tasty, crunchy, cheese ball can be made ahead and frozen. I usually make two and freeze one for my next party!
