Preparation
Cook bacon until crisp, drain well and set aside together with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of drippings.
In bowl of food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine cheese, butter, parsley, green onions and banana pepper rings. Cover and process until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as necessary. Add bacon and drippings to bowl and process until bacon is finely chopped.
Chill mixture 3 hours or until firm enough to roll into a log or a ball. If mixture softens too much, return to refrigerator until firm.
Roll log in chopped pecans and refrigerate up to 2 days. Garnish to taste and serve with crackers.
Tips
Shape cheese mixture into 2 dozen balls, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter; roll in chopped pecans before chilling.
For a change of taste, use Canadian Swiss, Gouda or Provolone.
