This first one makes quite a bit so feel free to cut in half. The instructions say to chill for at least 24 hours before serving but it is definitely edible right after you make it (ahem, not that I know from experience). It's just that it thickens the longer you let it sit, in the fridge of course. Remember to DRAIN all canned items before mixing.

Ranch Cheese Ball
Ingredients:
2 (8 oz each) packages cream cheese (light is fine)
1 (1 oz.) packet dry buttermilk ranch dressing mix

4 green onions, thinly sliced
5 pieces of bacon, fried and crumbled
1/4 cup chopped black olives, optional
pecans or almonds, finely chopped for coating
1. Mix together cream cheese and dry ranch seasoning packet. Stir until smooth. Add cheese, onions, olives (if using) and bacon. Stir until well combined.
2. Shape into a ball. Roll in nuts to coat outside. Fix shape if needed. (You can make one big or more smaller) Store in refrigerator.
Serve with crackers.
I spread almonds on wax paper and rolled on that to make it easier.
Here is a picture of mine - not bad for my first ball, cheese ball that is.
Here is a picture of the inside from Pinterest.
