Pineapple Cheese Ball

If you're ever in a pinch and need a quick dish for a party, I hope you'll try this pineapple cheese ball.

This was the simplest dish at my dad's Hawaii 5-0 birthday party, but it was by far the most complimented. It got just as many oohs and ahs as the cake I baked.

The cheese ball was delicious, kept well during the event, and was decorative! Decorative food is good food.

So, here's that recipe: Serves 10

8 oz softened cream cheese

4 oz can crushed pineapple (no, fresh isn't the same)

1/2 cup small diced red pepper

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 box crackers in hexagonal shapes

1/2 green pepper sliced OR the green top from a pineapple, split in half

Take all the ingredients, minus the crackers and sliced peppers and mix them in a bowl.

Mold it into a half egg shape on a plate.

Decorate it with crackers to look like a pineapple.

At the top, lay the peppers out like the greenery or use the greenery from an actual pineapple!

Easiest thing that ever happened, and it delish.
