- 8 ounces of shredded medium cheddar cheese, (shredded from a bar)
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup diced green onions, green part only
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except for the pecans to a medium size bowl. Using a hand mixer, mix until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.

- For the best flavor, refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite crackers.
- Refrigerate leftovers.
