For an enhanced flavor, consider using freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese. Toasting the pecans before chopping them adds a depth of nutty flavor. Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts, such as walnuts or almonds. If you prefer a smoother texture, use an electric mixer to combine the ingredients. This cheese ball can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just add the pecans right before serving.
