Buttermilk Ranch Cheeseball. This is the quickest and easiest appetizer I know of. It takes only minutes to make and can be served almost immediately. You can keep the ingredients on hand for months. Serve with buttery crackers. Ingredients 1 tablespoon sour cream 1 one ounce package ranch dressing mix such as Hidden Valley Ranch one 8 ounce package cream cheese 1/2 pound Cheddar cheese, shredded 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans Directions Mix the sour cream with ranch dressing mix in a bowl until smoothly combined. Add the cream cheese and Cheddar cheese to the bowl, and mix together with your hands until thoroughly blended. Chill the mixture for 5 minutes, then shape into a ball. Place the pecans into a shallow bowl, and roll all sides of the cheese ball in the pecans to coat. Serve immediately.
