BACON-OLIVE CHEESE BALL
My husband had to take a bacon dish to work for a luncheon, so I took my favorite cheese ball recipe and added bacon and a few other ingredients to it. It was a hit at the luncheon and was gone in a few minutes. I didn't measure the ingredients as I made the cheese ball, so I am "guesstimating" some of these ingredients. As for the seasonings, you can change them to your taste preference, but I would not recommend adding anything else with salt because of the olives and bacon that are already in the recipe.

Steps:
- In food processor, chop the olives and pimentos. Put into a bowl and set aside.
- Place the cream cheese, onion powder and cajun seasoning into the food processor and process until creamy. Remove to a mixing bowl.
- Add the olives, bacon pieces, and shredded cheese to the cream cheese mixture. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a spoon. Form mixture into a ball. (It may be too soft to make the ball at this point, but do the best you can. You will be able to handle it better after the next step)
- Wrap the "ball" in a sheet of wax paper and put into the freezer for approx 20 minutes.
- Remove the ball from the freezer, reshape the ball and roll in pecan pieces until covered. Refrigerate in airtight container. Remove from refrigerator approx 1 hour before serving. Serve with Club, Ritz, or your favorite cracker.
