I made this for Thanksgiving and it was very good...however when I make it again I would use half the amount of cream cheese.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I make this same chicken-cheese ball all the time, the only difference is i use one 10 ounces of can of chicken with 2 cream cheese and 2 tbs. of mayo. I split it and make 2 chicken balls. if i want a smaller one I use 5oz can and 1 cream cheese, 1/2 envelope of ranch dressing mix, and 1 tbs mayo. I then roll it in the pecan. Everyone loves it.
