Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup milk
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup finely minced green onion (white part only)
1 (8 ounce) jar diced pimentos, drained
3/4 cup fisher pecans, divided
10 slices bacon, cooked, drained, finely crumbled and divided
salt and pepper
1/4 cup minced parsley
1 tablespoon poppy seed

Steps:

Place cream cheese in mixer bowl. Attach bowl and flat beater to mixer. Turn to speed two and mix 1 minute. Stop and scrape bowl. Turn to speed Two and gradually add milk, mixing until well blended about 1 minute. Stop and scrape bowl. Add cheeses, onions, pimentos, half of the bacon and half the pecans. Turn to speed 4 and beat until well blended, about another minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer mixture to a large piece of plastic wrap. Form into a ball and wrap tightly.
Repeat with the remaining mixture. Refrigerate (or freeze) at least 2 hours.
