Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese and 1 (1-ounce) packet dry buttermilk ranch dressing mix using an electric hand mixer.
- Add the ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ cup thinly sliced green onion, and the cooked and crumbled 6 pieces bacon,.
- Mix to combine the ingredients together until incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into a ball. I like to use saran wrap to make it easy!
- Place 1 cup pecans or almonds, on a plate then roll the cheese ball over the nuts to coat the outside. You can make one big ball or two smaller ones!
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container until you're ready to serve. Enjoy with crackers or vegetables!
