Ingredients
16
ounces
cream cheese
, softened
¼
cup
green onions
, chopped fine
1
Tablespoon
ranch dressing dry mix
(like Hidden Valley)
½
teaspoon
dill
, optional
½
cup
pecans

For serving: Favorite snack crackers or vegetables
Instructions
Mix all ingredients except pecans with an electric mixer until smooth.
Place mixture on plastic wrap, cover and form into ball. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
Put pecans on a plate. Remove from plastic wrap and roll in pecans until well-coated.
Place on a platter with crackers and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
If you don’t want to use nuts, you can use chopped bacon or crushed crackers instead (similar to my
bacon ranch cheese ball
).
If you'd like more cheese, you can mix in 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese with the cream cheese.
Make-ahead:
Follow steps 1 & 2, then let chill in fridge overnight. Before serving, roll in chopped pecans until well-coated.
Storage:
Will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks if covered or stored in an airtight container.
