Mix chopped pecans, fresh jalapeño, and half of the cooked bacon together in a bowl and set aside.

In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Monterey jack cheese, pickled jalapeños, green onion, garlic powder, and the remaining bacon.

Roll the mixture into a ball, place it on a tray, and form it into the shape of a football.

Sprinkle the outer coating over the top and all around the sides, pressing in slightly to help it stick.

Cut one long strip and 4 smaller strips of leftover Monterey jack cheese and lay them on top of the cheese ball to form the 'laces'.

Serve immediately with your favorite crackers or chips.
