Ranch Cheeseball

I have this friend. She's amazing. You know those type of people that you just wish you could be more like? Yep, she's one of those. She posted this to her yummy blog a few months ago. It looked awesome. Oh, and it is! I finally tried it and it has been a huge success. I think I've made it 3 times in the past month. 

People think it's tasty.

It's super simple to put together.

And it's much MUCH cheaper than other cheeseballs which usually call for numerous types of cheeses.

Try it, you won't be sorry. Enjoy! 

And a big thanks to MaryAnn.
