Bacon Ranch Cheese Ball

If there is one flavor duo I love, it is bacon and ranch. These two ingredients were meant to be paired.

If you love cheeseballs, learn how to make a cheese ball to serve up your breakfast bacon. (And if you want to eat it for breakfast – no judgement here!)

How Do You Make A Cheese Ball

Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and whip up your softened cream cheese, cheddar, part of the bacon, onions and seasonings. Then pour in the Worcestershire sauce.

Once it is fully blended you are going pour it out on plastic wrap and then shape into a ball. Use the plastic wrap to help shape it into a ball.

Then roll the ball into the bacon mixture that you chopped up, and place on a serving tray.

Can I Make This Cheese Ball In Advance

Yes, you can make this ranch cheese ball in advance. The cheeseball has to be refrigerated for at least one hour before you serve.

You can make this cheese ball the night before you plan to serve. If you want to ensure the bacon stays fresh, you can just keep the cheese ball in the plastic wrap in the fridge.

Then right before you go to serve, unwrap the ball, roll in the bacon mixture and then serve it up.

What To Serve With Ths Bacon Cheese Ball

  • Crisp Fresh Veggies – Celery sticks, carrots, cucumbers, peppers, etc.
  • Low Carb Crackers
  • Low Carb Tortilla chips

Honestly, you can pair your cheese ball with almost anything you would like.

We tend to do veggies and a few crackers to have options for our guests.

How Long Do Cheese Balls Last

Because you are using green onions in this recipe for the bacon ranch cheese ball you will find it only stores for up to three days.

The green onions will go bad first out of the mixture, along with the bacon.

If you were doing a cheese ball with no fresh herbs or meat, you could easily store it for probably five days.

Can I Use Homemade Ranch Mix For This Cheeseball Recipe

Of course, if you prefer to make your own homemade ranch mix go right ahead.

Can I Make Them Into Mini Cheese Bites

You bet! All you have to do is take a cookie scoop to measure up the cheese balls and then roll them in small bowls. Then mix the outer coating and you have mini cheese ball bites.

If you make cheese balls that are mini you could stick a toothpick in it, for a bite-size appetizer if you wanted.

Can You Freeze Homemade Cheese Balls

You can freeze this cheese ball. The one thing you want to do is leave off the bacon mixture that you will roll your cheese ball in.

The reason you leave it off is it will become soft as it thaws. Keep your cheese ball wrapped in the plastic wrapper and then place it in a freezer bag or airtight container.

Thaw in the fridge the night before you plan to serve it up. Then right before you to serve just place your nut and bacon mixture and roll it around.
