AMY'S BEER & RANCH CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• Reserve one cup of cheese.
• In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients (I use a hand mixer to make sure it's combined well).
• Push mixture together in the center of the bowl, making a ball shape, cover bowl, and refrigerate 2 hours or longer.
• Place a large strip of plastic wrap on the counter top.
• Sprinkle remaining cup of cheese over the center of the plastic wrap.
• Place cream cheese mixture in the center of the shredded cheese, and use plastic wrap to mold into a ball.
• Roll the ball to completely cover in shredded cheese.
• (I often use more than one cup of cheese to completely cover the cheese ball).
• Wrap the formed cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate one hour or until serving.
• Serve with hearty crackers such as Wheat Thins or Triscuits.

RANCH DRESSING CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the dressing mix, mayonnaise, buttermilk, Cheddar, and cream cheese until thoroughly blended. Divide the mixture into two equal portions in two separate bowls. Cover the bowls and place them in the freezer for 30 minutes. When each portion is firm, use your hands to shape it into a ball. Place the nuts in a shallow bowl or on a piece of waxed paper. Roll each ball in the nuts to coat it on all sides. Serve with crackers or bagel chips.
• Let this sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving for easier spreading.
