What You’ll Need
Before we get cookin’, let’s gather all the ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1 cup canned chili (your choice, no beans preferred)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cilantro for garnish (optional)
Let’s Get Cooking
Now that we have everything ready, let’s jump into the cooking instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until creamy and well blended.
- Add the canned chili, garlic powder, and green onions to the cheese mixture. Stir them all together until evenly combined.
- Take half of the chopped pecans and mix them into the cheese mixture for that added crunch and flavor.
- On a sheet of plastic wrap, shape the cheese mixture into a log. Wrap it up tightly and place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours to firm up.
- Once your cheese log is set, remove it from the plastic wrap and roll it in the remaining chopped pecans until the log is fully coated.
- Slice into rounds and serve with your favorite crackers or fresh veggies. Don’t forget to sprinkle a little cilantro on top for that extra flair!
