     Recently we poker girls got together for our annual birthday card party. Everyone brings a dish and their beverage of choice, along with a birthday card and lottery ticket. We have a grand time and snacks are always a priority. 
     This time I brought an easy cheeseball that I'd been wanting to try for awhile. It was a simple, tasty treat that would be perfect for any upcoming sports events or party.

Cheddar Bacon Ranch Cheeseball
2 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 (1 oz.) packet Ranch dressing mix (dry)
1/4 cup onion, fine diced
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup chives, freeze-dried
6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
 
Combine all ingredients in medium bowl, mixing well. Form into a ball. 

Wrap in plastic wrap, put in a bowl and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Turn onto plate surrounded by choice of crackers.

Serves 10-12.
