Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 -1 1/2 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese (i used cabot's seriously sharp)
5 -6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 tsp parsley flakes
1 1/2 tsp dried chives (or 1 tbsp or so snipped fresh chives)
1 dash hot sauce
1 dash garlic powder
chopped pecans ( optional) or walnuts (optional)
additional crumbled cooked bacon (optional)

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a med-large size bowl.
If your cream cheese is soft enough, you can stir this by hand or you can use a hand-mixer until well combined.
Spoon out onto plastic wrap big enough to fold over top and form cheese mixture into a smooth bowl, wrapping plastic wrap around ball to seal.
(If desired, roll cheese ball into chopped nuts or additional cooked and crumbled bacon before wrapping.).
Place in refrigerator for 1-2 hours so flavors blend.
Serve with crackers, bagel chips, veggies, etc.
