In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and well-blended.

Add in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing mix, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Shape the mixture into a ball with your hands. If you want a crunchy coating, roll the cheese ball in the chopped pecans or walnuts until it's evenly coated.

Cover the cheese ball with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
