Bacon Ranch Party Cheese Ball a Crowd Pleaser

This simple cheese ball recipe combines everyone’s favorite ingredients — sharp cheddar, crunchy bacon, and spicy ranch — into a thick spread perfect for parties, picnics, and family gatherings.

Combine two softened packages of cream cheese with 1 1/2 tablespoons of powdered or liquid ranch dressing. Add to taste if you prefer less spicy flavors for your cheeseballs. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of dried garlic.

Into your soft cheese mixture, stir a cup of real bacon bits, then add 3/4 cup of finely grated sharp cheddar and a heaping tablespoo of chopped or dried green onions. Add a generous pinch of sun-dried tomatoes or red peppers for additional sweetness or spice. Extra spice can also be added with a pinch of taco seasoning, cumin, or even chopped green peppers or chilis
