Tim's Bacon Cheddar Ranch Cheese Ball

In honor of Tim's obsession with cheese balls...

-2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
-1 pkg. ranch dressing mix
-2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
-1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
-1-2 Tbs. Hormel "Real Bacon" Bacon Bits (I'm not entirely sure on the exact measurement... I just kind of eyeball it... it really depends on how much you like bacon)

In a medium bowl, mash cream cheese. Mix dressing mix, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits into the cream cheese. Shape into a ball. Roll the ball in chopped nuts. Refrigerate covered. Serve with crackers. (Wheat thins are best!)
