Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it’s creamy and smooth. Add the well-drained crushed pineapple, chopped green pepper, green onions, lemon-pepper seasoning, and seasoned salt. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Incorporate Pecans: Gently fold in 1/2 cup of the chopped pecans into the cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the mix.
Shape the Cheese Ball: Form the cheese mixture into a ball shape using your hands or a spatula. Wrap the cheese ball tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight to let the flavors meld and the cheese firm up.
Coat with Pecans: Before serving, spread the remaining chopped pecans on a flat surface. Unwrap the cheese ball and roll it in the pecans, pressing gently to adhere the nuts to the cheese.
Serve: Place the pecan-coated cheese ball on a serving platter. Surround with an assortment of crackers and enjoy!
