🧂 Ingredients

8 oz Cream Cheese

Softened
1 1/2 cups Cheddar Cheese, Shredded

Divided
4 bunches Green Onion
1/3 cup Real Bacon Bits*
3 tbsp Ranch Dressing Mix

1 Packet
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions

1 Add softened cream cheese to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip cream
cheese until light and airy.
2 Using a sharp knife and cutting board, dice the green onion very small. (Use
only the green parts for a mild onion flavor, or the white and green parts for
more bold flavor.)
3 Reserving 1/2 cup of cheddar, add remaining ingredients, including green onion,
to the bowl and continue mixing until combined.
4 Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, shape the ball into a rounded ball.
(It's ok to leave the bottom of the ball flat.)
5 Press the remaining cheddar onto all sides of the cheese ball. Using plastic
wrap, press the cheddar into the cheese ball. Cover the cheese ball with plastic
wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow ball to set.
6 Serve with crackers, vegetables, cheese slices, or deli meats.
