Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together cream cheese, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, bacon, ranch seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Scoop the mixture a sheet of plastic wrap.
- Form cheese into a ball and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- After one hour, remove from fridge and unwrap. Press remaining shredded cheese around the outside of the ball, sticking it all over to cover completely so the entire ball is orange.
- Wrap again tightly and form into a basic pumpkin shape. Use butcher's twine or yarn to wrap around the pumpkin tightly in even sections, making grooves to define the pumpkin shape. Place back in the refrigerator and refrigerate for another 1-2 hours or overnight.
- Carefully remove the twine and plastic from the cheese ball. Place the cheese ball onto a serving place and press the bell pepper stem into the top.
- Serve with crackers and/or chips.
