- Spread in a small pie or casserole dish. Top with the remaining pecans.

Notes
Notes for the Food Processor: I used a food processor for all of the chopping (other than the nuts) and mixing for this dip. First, chop the parsley and green onions in a clean food processor bowl, pulsing until finely chopped. Add green peppers and bacon and pulse until chopped. Add sour cream, cream cheese and Worcestershire sauce to the food processor bowl and pulse until well mixed. Stir in ¼ cup pecans with a spatula and then spread in the baking dish. Top with nuts and bake.
