1. Combine the Cheeses:

– Stir in the finely chopped dill pickles, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Form the Cheese Ball:
– Using your hands, shape the mixture into a ball. If desired, roll the cheese ball in chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
4. Chill:
– Wrap the cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the cheese ball to firm up.
5. Serve:
– Once chilled, remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator and place it on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh dill if desired. Serve with crackers or vegetable sticks.
