Cheese Ball

I broke a cardinal rule of entertaining (again). You're never supposed to use an untested recipe. Today I made cheese balls for the wedding, as per Rachel's request. Instead of using Mom's recipe which must be buried somewhere in a church cookbook, I got something off the internet. I licked the spatula when I was done; it was totally awesome. And easy!!!

1# grated cheddar, preferably sharp
1# cream cheese
1 envelope Hidden Valley Ranch dry dressing mix

Blend thoroughly.
Shape into 1 large or 2 small balls.
Roll in ground pecans.
Refrigerate.

It's a little salty, which will be fine on celery and carrot sticks. If Hidden Valley makes a low-salt version, I'd go for that next time.
