Holiday Cheese Ball

 My sisters and I did a "Holiday Baking Day" last year and a cheeseball was one of the things I wanted to try. I can't believe I haven't ever made one before then. Not only are they SUPER easy, they are so dang delicious! I am looking forward to making this again and again for years to come!!

Recipe was found here

Ingredients:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 Tbsp Ranch seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup bacon bits, separated (I used the real bacon bits from the store but I can already imagine how amazing fresh bacon would be in this!)
  • 3/4 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions:
  1. In a medium size mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning and dill with a hand mixer (I used my Bosch)
  2. Stir in shredded cheese and 1/2 cup of bacon bits until combined
  3. Place cheese mixture on a sheet of saran wrap and form into a ball
  4. refrigerate for at least one hour
  5. remove from fridge, and place chopped pecans and remaining 1/2 cup bacon on a plate
  6. Roll cheese ball in nuts and bacon until well coated
  7. Serve with crackers and be happy!
