Ham and Green Onion Cheeseball {Football Shaped}

My husband's late grandma used to make this cheeseball every year around Christmas time.  The kids would gather together make goodies and spend the night.  Since she has passed away, other family members bring this savory treat to gatherings.  I finally made it myself this week.  It was gone within minutes.  I will definitely be making another one for the Super Bowl next weekend.

Ingredients:
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
2 (2 oz.) pkgs. thin-sliced ham, diced into small pieces
4 green onions, diced
crackers (for a gluten-free option, serve with gluten free crackers)
plastic wrap

Directions:

1. Mix ingredients together in a medium bowl.
2. Place onto plastic wrap.  Wrap and form into football shape.
3. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
4. Roll in pecans.  Refrigerated until serving.
5. Add green onion as the stitches of the football.  Serve with crackers of your choice.
