Ranch and Bacon Cheese Ball

This was good and so easy, I made it into a spider for Halloween, using black pipe cleaners and googly eyes. It was so cute. The bacon made it look all hairy. The only change I would make would be to cut back on the ranch dip mix. It was too salty for my taste. It is probably fine for others, but I don't use salt much.

My husband who loves the regular cheese ball said he almost liked this better! I did use crumbled bacon and fat free cream cheese. Next time I'll probably use full fat cause of the texture. Thanks for a tasty recipe!

I can't believe that I'm the first to try this but I predict that I won't be the last. When I set this out at our family get together everyone converged on it. My SIL immediately asked for the recipe and plans to make it when she gets home, my DD#2 wants me to make another one already and even DH is talking about it. The ranch dressing is very tasty and the bacon goes great with it. We did discuss putting half of the bacon in the cheeseball and then using the other half to roll it in to distribute the bacon flavor more. All in all a great recipe and one that will definitely be repeated in this family. Thanks for posting.

I made this for our goodies table at work. I was in a hurry so I did not roll into a ball, but I put the bacon bits in the bowl and added the rest to make it like a spread. This was the bowl that everyone kept saying what is that? I must have that recipe. I did make one slight change, but it was really good anyway. I did not enough cheddar cheese, so I used a combo of cheddar, and 6 cheese italien blend. This was quite addicting stuff. Great recipe
