Easy Bacon Ranch Cheeseball Recipe

April 18, 2017 By BadgerFoodie Leave a Comment

In celebration of National Cheeseball Day, April 17th, I decided to make my first Cheeseball.

I didn’t have a lot of time to plan, prep, and execute this recipe, so I searched out an easy recipe.  My goal was to find an easy and tasty cheeseball recipe.  Since some of my favorite cheese spreads involve bacon, when I found this Bacon Ranch Cheeseball recipe, I knew it was the one!

Overall, it was a great success.  Next time I make a Bacon Ranch Cheeseball I am going to use real bacon, a bowl mixer instead of a hand mixer, and make sure I have some better crackers on hand!
