Bacon Ranch Cheese Ball

Ingredients:

Two 8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened

One 1 oz. package Ranch dressing mix

2 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 ½ cups chopped pecans

1 cup cooked, finely chopped bacon

6 Ritz crackers (crushed)

Instructions:

In a medium-sized bowl, mash cream cheese. Add the Ranch dressing mix, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits to the cream cheese and stir.

Crush the 6 Ritz crackers and mix them with the chopped pecans in a small bowl. Shape the cream cheese mixture into a ball, and roll the ball in the chopped nut mixture until it’s evenly covered.

Cover and refrigerate until the ball is firm, about 1 hour. Serve with more Ritz crackers. Enjoy!
