Bacon Cheese Ball

Chop the green onions finely and set aside.

In a large skillet fry the bacon. Don't crowd the bacon in the skillet. You may have to cook it in batches. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Chop or break the cooled bacon into small pieces.

Break the bacon into pieces and place in a plastic bag. Crush the bacon with a rolling pin.

In a medium-size mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, Hellmann's real mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder and the finely chopped green onions. Mix really well and form 2 balls out of the mixture. Cover and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours, or overnight.

Before serving place the pecans in a food processor and pulse until you have small pieces. Roll the cheese balls in the chopped pecans. If you like you can sprinkle some finely chopped green onions on top for an even nicer visual effect.

Keep your mother-in-law green with envy by not allowing her to have your recipe for this cheese ball.
