Ingredients

16 ounces Cream Cheese softened
½ teaspoon Garlic Salt
1 teaspoon Hot Sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 ounce Ranch Seasoning 1 packet
2 cups Cheddar Cheese shredded
3 Green Onions chopped
1 cup Bacon divided
⅓ cup Chopped Pecans
2 Slices Provolone Cheese

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
Mix in garlic salt, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and ranch seasoning until combined.
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and bacon.
Cover with large sheet of plastic wrap and chill for 1-2 hours until the cream cheese is hardened.
Wrap the plastic wrap around the mixture and roll the mixture into an oval shape. Pinch the ends of the cheese ball to make a football shape out of the mixture.
Combine the remaining bacon and chopped pecans, then press the mixture onto the outside of the cheese ball.
Cut provolone cheese into thin strips and place them on top of the cheese ball to look like football laces.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

If the cream cheese mixture is still too soft to shape into a football after chilling for 1–2 hours, continue chilling it for another 30 minutes to help it hold its shape.
