Easy Cheese Ball
Chef Scott likes to make and serve this recipe, especially during the holidays. This is a VERY easy recipe for elementary age kids to make and be proud of!
2 8-oz packages cream cheese (softened is easier to mash)
2 cups shredded cheddar (or favorite cheese)
2 packages chopped beef or ham (about 12 slices)
1 package powdered Ranch Dressing mix (our home recipe included below and in another note)
Nuts or herbs to roll cheese ball in. (optional)
Mix the first 4 ingredients together with a fork in a frosting bowl (small mixing bowl). Roll into a ball, then roll in nuts or herbs. Refrigerate for 1 hour prior to serving for best flavor. Serve with crackers or pretzel sticks. This is also good spread on celery sticks.
