How to Make Amy's Ranch Cheese Ball

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces of cream cheese (softened), 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1 packet of ranch seasoning mix (1 ounce), and 1/4 cup of chopped green onions.
  2. Gently mix all ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Shape the mixture into a ball on a piece of plastic wrap. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the cheese ball to firm up.
  4. Once chilled, unwrap the cheese ball and roll it in your choice of toppings (optional). Suggestions include chopped nuts, dried herbs, or more shredded cheese.
  5. Serve with an assortment of crackers, vegetables (such as celery sticks and carrot sticks), or pretzels. Enjoy!
