CARMEN'S CHEESE BALL

1 (8 oz.) package of cream cheese
1 package of Hidden Valley Ranch Mix (Powdered)
4 cups shredded cheese
2 cups chopped pecans or nut of choice
1 Tbl. of worcestershire sauce

Allow cream cheese to soften slightly and then mix together ranch packet and cheddar cheese and worcestershire sauce. Form into a ball and then roll the mixture in pecans and refrigerate before serving. Great with Ritz crackers! I like to include some pecans in the actual cheese mixture to add some crunch.
