Lion House Cheese Ball

1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 ½ C. grated cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp. dried chives
2 tsp. dry ranch dressing mix
½ C. chopped pecans (optional)

Mix all ingredients together. Form into a ball (this may be easier once the mixture has been refrigerated for about 1 hour) and roll in chopped pecans. Serve with assorted crackers.

From the Lion House cook book.

Party Cheese Ball

2 packages cream cheese (8 oz. each), softened
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper (you may add more to taste)
1/8 tsp. salt
1 C. chopped pecans (or other nuts) - optional

Mix cheeses together. Add seasonings and mix well. To form into a ball, you may want to chill in the fridge for about an hour. Form into 2 balls. Roll cheese ball in nuts. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight for best flavor. You may want to remove from the fridge prior to serving so that it can soften a little. Serve with crackers.
