This is the quickest and easiest appetizer I know of. It takes only minutes to make and can be served almost immediately. You can keep the ingredients on hand for months. Serve with buttery crackers.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch (R))
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 pound Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Directions
Mix the sour cream with ranch dressing mix in a bowl until smoothly combined. Add the cream cheese and Cheddar cheese to the bowl, and mix together with your hands until thoroughly blended. Chill the mixture for 5 minutes, then shape into a ball.
Place the pecans into a shallow bowl, and roll all sides of the cheese ball in the pecans to coat. Serve immediately.
