Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup crumbled bacon (cooked and cooled)

¼ cup green onions, finely chopped

¼ cup pickled jalapenos, finely chopped

2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix

1 cup chopped mixed nuts (like pecans and almonds)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, jalapenos, and ranch dressing mix.

Use a handheld mixer or a sturdy spatula to blend all the ingredients until smooth and well incorporated.

Once mixed, form the cheese mixture into a ball shape. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

After chilling, remove the cheeseball from the wrap and roll it in the chopped mixed nuts, ensuring an even coating all around.

Transfer your cheeseball to a serving platter. Optional: Garnish with extra chopped green onions or bacon pieces on top for added flair.

Serve alongside an assortment of crackers, sliced vegetables, and pretzels for dipping.
