Easy Cheese Ball

Ingredients
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Directions
1.In a medium size bowl, mash cream cheese. Mix dressing mix and Cheddar cheese into the cream cheese. Shape the mixture into a ball. Roll the ball in the chopped nuts. Refrigerate covered until ready to serve. Yum!

This is very tasty. The only change I made in this recipe was the nuts. I used crushed walnuts. Very good, everyone liked it.

HOLIDAY BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Ingredients
1 lb. hot sausage
3 c. frozen hash browns, thawed
1/2 c. chopped green pepper
1/2 c. chopped yellow onion
2 c. milk
3 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 tsp. salt
12 eggs, beaten

Directions
Cook sausage until done; crumble and drain. Place hash brown in a lightly greased 13"x9"x2" baking dish; salt to taste; layer sausage, cheese, onion and green pepper. Combine eggs and milk, stirring well. Pour over casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Serves 8 to 10.

This is the perfect breakfast meal to serve on the holidays. It can be made the night before and bake in the morning. I serve this Thanksgiving and Christmas morning. I make two for my big family. One with the vegies and one with out.
I use turkey sausage instead of pork breakfast sausage. Recipe from Cooks.com
