I do love a good cheese ball recipe, and this is one of my favorites. I made this for a small dinner party that I was hosting, and my guests loved it. With cream cheese, sharp cheddar, bacon and ranch flavoring, this one is sure to be a hit.

I served this as an appetizer, along with my zucchini bites and everyone loved them both. If you want something quick and easy that is sure to please your guests, this cheese ball is it.
