Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese
  • 1 (1-ounce) packet Ranch dressing mix dry buttermilk
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • ¼ cup green onion thinly sliced
  • 6 pieces Bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup pecans finely chopped for coating, or almonds

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese and 1 (1-ounce) packet dry buttermilk ranch dressing mix using an electric hand mixer.
  2. Add the ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ cup thinly sliced green onion, and the cooked and crumbled 6 pieces bacon,.
  3. Mix to combine the ingredients together until incorporated.
  4. Shape the mixture into a ball. I like to use saran wrap to make it easy!
  5. Place 1 cup pecans or almonds, on a plate then roll the cheese ball over the nuts to coat the outside. You can make one big ball or two smaller ones!
  6. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container until you're ready to serve. Enjoy with crackers or vegetables!

Notes

  • If you are short on time, buy the real bacon bits and add 1/2 cup.
