Susan's Easy Cheese Ball


2 (8 oz) pkgs cream cheese
1 cup grated (or shredded) cheddar cheese
1 envelope Hidden Valley Ranch dressing, original flavor
Chopped pecans
 
Let cream cheese & cheddar cheese come to room temperature.  Mix cheeses, gradually adding dressing mix a little at a time until entire pkg is used.  (if too sticky after doing this, refrigerate for 30 minutes or so until easily workable with hands)  Shape into a ball (or 2 small balls if preferred) and roll in chopped pecans.  Refrigerate. 
Serve with Club crackers or other variety of crackers.
 
* I have made this cheese ball for over 25 yrs & it never fails to get raves & requests for the recipe.  It is easy since it uses so few ingredients.  I make it for all holidays & family reunions & parties.  (am "expected" to make it!)    I guarantee it will become a favorite of yours too!
