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

I would give this recipe 30 stars if I could. Awesome cheese ball recipe. The only thing I did differently was add a couple tablespoons of bacon into the actual cheese ball as well as a handful of chopped green onion. I also used chopped green onion to roll the cheese ball in along with the bacon pieces. Wonderful, will make it any chance I get!

Wow. This was WONDERFUL. Tom made this for a girl's night tonight and I got a sneak taste. YUM YUM YUM. And it's so pretty if you use real bacon, I took a picture to share

Well I have to say I didn't have time to make the balls, but did use your ingredients. I mixed everything together but 1/2 the chedder, and 1/2 the bacon bits (real bacon). Put it in a pie pan and toppped it with remaining ingreidients. Microwaved till warm and served it with crackers! Everyone loved it...Thanks! K-jon

This is the easiest cheese ball I have ever made! My co-workers begged me to make it again for our Christmas party tomorrow night. I know it will be gone, FAST!

My first cheese ball ever. Din't know it would be so easy. I put everything in the Kitchen Aid , then made it into a ball. It was a much bigger ball than I had planned, so I froze a portion . I did put the bacon in the ball and rolled it in walnuts. Everyone loved it on Ritz crackers.

Added this to my appetizer buffet last night and it was a definate hit! I used two 8oz packages of cream cheese, not sure if that was a typo in the recipe, or if I made it wrong, but it still turned out good. I think some chopped green onion would go nicely in this, too.

My gang gobbled this up! I used real crumbled bacon. Very good!
