Peace. Love. Ranch.

Pimiento-Ranch Cheese Ball

While some say the ultra-popular midwestern appetizer never went out of style, cheese balls recipes — which rose to fame in the 1950s — are definitely having a moment. These cream cheese-based orbs are always a party pleaser, usually covered in something crunchy like nuts or breadcrumbs and seasoned with our favorite herb-tinged ranch.

For safe meat preparation, reference the USDA website.

Steps (2)

  1. 1

    Place the cream cheese, pimientos, green pepper and ranch seasoning mix into a large bowl and mix well until fully combined. Taste for seasoning and add more, if needed.

  2. 2

    Roll the mixture into two balls.  Roll one in breadcrumbs and the other in crushed nuts (or use two different kinds of nuts if you don’t want the breadcrumbs). Serve with crackers, bread and cut vegetables.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pimiento-Ranch Cheese Ball I made this cheese ball during the holidays. It has taken me awhile to get to reviewing this recipe. I made this instead of my usual wine cheese ball. It was a nice change. The ranch seasoning gave it a different kind of kick to it. I used chopped walnuts on both of the cheeseballs. Everyone enjoyed them with various types of crackers.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I'm not a fan of green peppers so i I used red, yellow and orange peppers which made this little cheese ball even better! Just remember to cop up the peppers in small pieces.
