  2. Stir together the cream cheese and ranch dressing mix in a bowl until smooth. Add the bacon, Cheddar cheese, green onions, and olives, stir until well combined. Shape the mixture into a ball and roll in the chopped pecans. Refrigerate overnight.

Recipe Note

This cheese ball was a big hit at our office Christmas party! I had cream cheese left over and decided to start adding ingredients and it was wonderful!
