Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1/4 cup almonds (chopped, We like Blue Diamond Low Sodium Almonds)
  • 1/4 cup smoked almonds (chopped, We like Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds)
  • 4 slices bacon (cooked and chopped)
  • 2 tbsp parsley (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp green onions (thinly sliced)
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese
  • 1 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese (finely grated)
  • 2 tbsp Ranch dressing seasoning mix
  • 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instruction

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped almonds, half of the chopped bacon, 1 tablespoon of parsley, and 1 tablespoon of green onions; set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl (using a hand mixer), combine the cream cheese, grated cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and reserved bacon, parsley and green onion. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Form the mixture into a ball and roll to cover the ball entirely. You may need to pat some of the nuts into the areas that aren't covered. Cover the cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
