Cheddar Cheese ball

I made this in anticipation of a Thanksgiving pot luck - which didn't happen, so we ate it with our Thanksgiving leftovers. The basis of the recipe came from Better Homes and Gardens, but we've changed it to our tastes.

1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese.
3 oz cream cheese
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
1 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp finely chopped green onion
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
dash of bottled hot pepper sauce (or more if you like it)
1/3 c. finely chopped walnuts
assorted crackers

Bring the cheeses and margarine to room temperature. Add milk, green onion, Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce. Beat till combined. Cover and chill 4 to 24 hours.
Shape mixture into a ball, roll in nuts. Let stand 15 minutes. Serve with crackers.
