- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
Soften the Cream Cheese
- Remove cream cheese from the fridge early. Let it soften fully for smooth mixing.
Mix the Base
- Add cream cheese to a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy using a spoon or mixer.
Add Cheddar Cheese

Add Green Onions
- Stir in chopped green onions. Make sure they spread evenly for balanced flavor.
Shape the Cheese Ball
- Place mixture on plastic wrap. Shape into a round ball using clean hands.
Chill the Cheese Ball
- Wrap tightly and chill for at least one hour. This helps it hold shape.
Coat with Pecans

Notes
