Directions
Beat the cream cheese and House Seasoning in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Stir in the Cheddar, olives, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine the pecans and chives in a shallow dish or plate. Use a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper to shape the cream cheese mixture into a ball. Roll the ball in the pecan mixture, pressing until the entire cheese ball is coated. Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour or up to overnight. Serve with crackers.
