Equipment

Ingredients

  • 16 oz cream cheese
  • 1 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (1oz) ranch dressing mix packet
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 5 pieces bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2-3 tablespoons green onion chopped

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl. Stir until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  • Place a piece of plastic wrap into a large bowl. Transfer the cheese mixture into the wrap and bowl, using the wrap to help form into a ball.
  • Chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until ready to serve.

Notes

Optional* You can always roll the cheese ball in toasted pecans or bacon crumbles. We opted out of this option due to a nut allergy.
