This bacon ranch cheese ball is the best appetizer for any bacon fans! Serve this easy-to-make cheese ball with your favorite crackers for a snack that will disappear in a flash.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add in the rest of the cheese ball ingredients. Beat until well combined.
Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Spoon the mixture into the center of the plastic wrap. Bring up the edges of the plastic wrap to cover the cheese and form it into a ball. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Before serving, place the topping ingredients in a shallow bowl. Unwrap the cheese ball and gently roll it in the pecans, bacon, and green onions to cover.
Serve with crackers.
Notes
The cheese ball base can be made up to a day ahead of time. Wait to roll the cheese ball in the toppings until just before serving.
