Add the Rotel and pepper. Mix again.
Form the cheese mixture into a ball on a serving plate.
Coat the outside of the cheese ball with the chopped nuts.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Serve with various crackers or bread slices.
Notes
Don't use the store-bought pre-grated cheese. It is treated to keep the cheese from sticking together, so it can make your cheese ball not stick together, too.
Adding Rotel (or salsa) gives the cheese ball a little bit of a kick (but you can also leave it out if you prefer).
Substitute another 8-ounce package of cream cheese for the goat cheese if desired.
The nuts on the outside of the cheese ball can be replaced with 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
The cheese ball can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. It actually tastes better when it has been sitting for a few hours because the flavors have a chance to blend.
