Holiday Cheese Ball - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
4 1/2 oz. grated Cheddar cheese
1 envelope Hidden Valley Ranch dressing (original flavor)

Preparation

Let cheeses come to room temperature.
Mix gradually with dressing mix.
Mixture will be sticky. Shape into ball.
(Since mixture is sticky, I use plastic bags on my hands to roll.) Roll in chopped pecans, if desired. This makes a large ball and I sometimes make two smaller balls.
Place in refrigerator until serving time.
Serve with crackers.
