Cheesy Ranch Spread

While looking at Facebook over the weekend, I saw a recipe for a ranch flavored cheese ball that looked good to me. Although the recipe called for a package of dry ranch seasoning mix, I substituted my Homemade Ranch Mix with great results. And, because I wanted to serve mine right away for lunch, I did not want to form it into a ball and wait for it to chill. Instead, I served it as a soft spread. 

We have eaten this twice now, both soft and chilled. Either way it tastes great! And, I love that it is made with ingredients that I always have on hand. Do you ever try out the recipes that you see circulating on Facebook?

Cheesy Ranch Spread

1 tsp. dried parsley
¼ tsp. black pepper
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. garlic powder
¼ tsp. onion powder
¼ cup sour cream
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Whisk together all ingredients. Serve immediately as a soft spread with crackers.
