  • 8 ounces 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 strips bacon (cooked and crumbled)
  • 4 ounce can diced jalapeños (drained)
  • 4 ounce can diced fire-roasted green chilies (drained)

For the ranch seasoning (can sub in 2 packages of ranch dressing mix, like Hidden Valley)

  • 3 tablespoons dried parsley

  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients, including ranch seasoning ingredients, EXCEPT pecans, in a large bowl.

Chill for at least an hour. Serve with crackers.
