Bacon Ranch Cheese Ball
Report
This cheese ball is packed with crispy bacon and ranch flavor. I roll the cheese ball in crackers before serving for a pretty presentation, extra flavor, and loads of crunch.

Instructions
- Add the cream cheese, cheddar, bacon, ranch seasoning, and chives to a mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
- Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on your work surface and place the cheese mixture in the center. Fold the plastic wrap up around the cheese and form into a ball.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Crush the cheese crackers into small pieces and place on a plate.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the cheese ball and roll the cheese ball in the crackers to coat.
- Serve with additional crackers and fresh vegetables.
Notes
- Chilling the cheese ball in the fridge is necessary to make it easier to work with. If you skip this step, you'll have a hard time rolling the ball in the crackers.
- Use any variety of crushed crackers for rolling the ball, or use chopped pecans or crumbled bacon.
