Bacon Ranch Cheese Ball

1. 1

   Allow cream cheese to soften slightly, then add ranch mix, all of the cheddar and a handful of the bacon bits.

2. 2

   Mix well and form into the shape of a ball.

3. 3

   I use my (clean!)

4. 4

   hands instead of a mixer.

5. 5

   Its a bit messy but keeps the texture from getting too creamy.

6. 6

   Pour the remaining bacon bits onto a clean surface (a dinner plate works well) and roll the cheese ball over them so that the bacon bits stick to the outside of the ball.

7. 7

   This can be eaten immediately or refrigerated for up to a week.

8. 8

   Serve with crackers, chips or cut veggies.

9. 9

   Or, as I like to eat it, cut in wedges all on its own.
