Ranch Cheeseball

This is a horrible picture. Next time I make it, I will take a picture before anyone starts to eat it:)

This recipe is so easy--only 3 ingredients. I made this for the visiting teaching interviews last weekend. It was the first time I made it and I was really pleased with how it turned out.

1 1/2 pkg. cream cheese(total of 12 ounces)
1/2 pkg. ranch dressing dry mix
1 Cup extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (plus more for rolling ball)

Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature. Stir everything together until well combined. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the cheese mixture into a rough ball (it's too sticky to make pretty yet). Grate more sharp cheddar cheese and arrange a layer on some plastic wrap. Dump cheese ball onto shredded cheese and roll around until well coated. At this point you can form it into a nice, round ball. Wrap in the plastic wrap and place in refrigerator until ready to eat. Serve with crackers.
