Ranch Cheese Ball


This recipe is a personal favorite of mine. I have been known to make up half a recipe to have in the fridge so I can snack on it occasionally. Ranch cheese ball is simple to make, tastes delicious, and most everyone who has tried it has loved it! It is also a great appetizer or party food as well!

Ingredients
1 8oz. package cream cheese
1 8oz. package extra sharp cheddar cheese*
1 package of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix

Directions
1. Soften the cream cheese. Either leave it out on the counter for a few hours, or in a rush, microwave it for a minute or two.
2. Shred the cheddar cheese. Stir the two cheeses together.
3. Dump the dressing mix into the cheese mix and stir really well.
4. Form into a large ball, or as shown in the photo, scoop into individual servings.
5. Chill for at least an hour before serving so that the cheese ball(s) will hold their shape.

Notes
-I like to buy the 8oz. package and shred the cheese myself for a stronger flavor.
-Serve the cheese ball with a variety of crackers (butter rounds, wheat thins, triscuits) and/or pretzels.

This is one of the appetizers we served at our wedding!
