Ingredients
1 package Hidden Valley Ranch (HVR) dressing mix
1/4 cup sour cream
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1¼ cups (12 oz.) medium cheddar cheese, shredded fine
1 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup sour cream
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1¼ cups (12 oz.) medium cheddar cheese, shredded fine
1 cup chopped pecans
Thoroughly stir together HVR dressing mix, sour cream and cream cheese. Next, add in the shredded cheese.
Roll cheese mixture into either one big ball or 2 smaller ones, and then coat with the chopped nuts. Store in airtight container and refrigerate.
Variations: Add in 1/4 to 1/3 cup of chopped cooked bacon for a bacon-ranch cheese ball. Try different kinds of cheese. Substitute 2-3 tablespoons beer for 1/4 cup sour cream for a hardier flavor. Try pistachios, almonds, or walnuts instead of pecans.
