Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, roasted red peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley.

Once the cheese ball has set, spread the crushed pecans on a large plate or flat surface.

Unwrap the cheese ball and gently roll it in the crushed pecans, pressing lightly to coat the entire surface evenly.
