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!
