Pecan Bacon Cheeseball
It's just not the holidays without a cheeseball - at least not around our house. We are huge cheese fans and this Pecan Bacon Cheeseball is perfect for a party or a quiet celebration at home. Spread it on crackers or crusty bread. We even like it on apple and pear slices! It's so delicious.
