Ingredients

12 slices Hatfield Bacon, cooked crisp and finely chopped (divided)
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated
16 oz cream cheese, softened
2 1/2 tbsp ranch dressing mix
2 tsp dried minced onion
1/2 tsp garlic powder
pinch salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup pecans, chopped
4 green onions, chopped

Instructions

Place 3/4 of the bacon and the chopped pecans to a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
Add the remaining ingredients to a medium bowl and mix to combine.
Spoon the mixture on a sheet of plastic wrap and wrap to cover completely. Once covered you can use your hands to press and form the mixture into the shape of a football.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
About 20 minute before serving, take the cheese ball from the refrigerator, remove the plastic wrap and gently press the bacon/pecan mixture into the cheese ball, covering all sides.
Serve with crackers, chips, pretzels, etc.

Notes

To add more football flair, cut mozzarella cheese into strips and place on top of the cheese ball to resemble laces.
