Ingredients

• 16 oz Cream cheese
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix
• 1 bunch Green onions
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 2 tbsp Parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 package or assortment Crackers or vegetables for serving

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and the Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix. Use a hand mixer or wooden spoon to mix until fully combined.

Step 2

Finely chop the green onions and fold them into the cheese mixture.

Step 3

Using clean hands or a piece of plastic wrap, shape the cheese mixture into a ball. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Step 4

Before serving, spread the chopped pecans on a plate or shallow dish. Unwrap the cheese ball and gently roll it in the pecans until fully coated (press lightly to help the pecans stick).

Step 5

Transfer the cheese ball to a serving plate, optionally garnishing with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for color.

Step 6

Serve with your favorite crackers, pretzels, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy!
