bacon ranch cheese ball
I feel like no party is complete without a cheese ball. I seriously love these things. This cheese ball was awesome and didn’t last long with my family. This is probably one of the best cheese balls that I have tried. I mean seriously, bacon makes everything better! The flavor was awesome and this was really simple to throw together. I even thought of a great idea of making two smaller cheese balls and giving them to the neighbors with some crackers as a gift! My dad has already volunteered me to make this for his neighbors. Man the perks that these guys get to have.

How To Make bacon ranch cheese ball
-
1Mix together the cream cheese and dry ranch packet. I put mine in the mixer and used the paddle attachment. That made it so easy. Otherwise, mix in a bowl until smooth.
-
2Add the cheese, onions, olive and bacon. If you are short on time, buy the real bacon bits and add about a 1/2 cup.
-
3Shape into a ball. Roll it in the nuts to coat the outside. You can make one big ball or two smaller ones.
-
4Refrigerate for 2 hours or until serving time. Serve with butter crackers of your choice I used Keebler Town House Flipsides Original Pretzel.
-
5Keep it stored in the refrigerator.
