Ingredients

Servings
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened (2 8-ounce packages)
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix 1 ounce, OR 2 tablespoons homemade ranch seasoning mix, dry
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese finely shredded
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced
  • ½ cup Bacon about 8 slices, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 ½ cups pecan finely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce and ranch seasoning mix until thoroughly mixed. Add in cheddar cheese, green onions and bacon and mix until combined. Cover and place mixture into the refrigerator for about one hour.
  2. Use a small (1 tablespoon) cookie scoop to portion the cream cheese mixture. Roll into small balls and then roll into the chopped pecans.
  3. Cover mini cheese balls and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • You can serve these mini cheese balls right away, but I think they taste best when they are allowed to chill in the refrigerator for at least a few hours to let the flavors marry.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing as cream cheese tends to split or take on a grainy texture when frozen and thawed.
