Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup shredded triple cheddar cheese
1/2 cup bacon bits
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup sliced scallions
2 tbsp milk (of your choice)
2 tsp everything bagel seasoning
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
In a medium-size bowl add the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, all seasoning, and milk. Mix with a hand mixer, until well combined.
Then add half of the bacon bits, half of the scallions, and half of the pecans. Make sure to chop those in smaller pieces first.
Put a piece of saran wrap on the counter and put the cheese ball in it. Then fully wrap it up with the saran wrap and form it into a ball.
Put the cheese ball in the fridge for 20 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, add the remaining chopped pecans, bacon bits and scallions.
Remove cheese ball from the fridge.
Roll the cheese ball around in the prepared shallow bowl and make sure the whole ball is coated with the remaining coating.
Serve with crackers and enjoy!
