In a medium-size bowl add the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, all seasonings, and milk. Mix with a hand mixer, until well combined.

Add half of the bacon bits, half of the scallions, and half of the pecans. Mix.

Place a piece of plastic wrap on the counter or flat work space. Place the cheese ball in the middle of the plastic wrap. Bring the corners up to fully wrap the cheese ball within the plastic wrap. Form it into a ball.

Put the cheeseball in the fridge for 20 minutes to firm.

In a shallow bowl, add the remaining chopped pecans, bacon bits and scallions.

Remove cheeseball from the fridge. Roll the cheeseball around in the prepared shallow bowl and make sure the whole ball is coated.

Serve with crackers, bread, veggies, pretzels, etc.
