Ranchchickencheeseballwithpecans Recipes

Steps:

• Put the milk and macaroni in a small saucepan and bring the milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to keep the macaroni from clumping. Simmer until the macaroni is tender and the milk has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the Monterrey Jack, mozzarella, cream cheese, butter, 1 packet of the ranch seasoning (8 teaspoons) and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and stir until smooth, thick and creamy. Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl and cool to room temperature to stiffen up.
• Meanwhile, put the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs into 3 separate shallow dishes and season each with salt and pepper.
• Using a 1-ounce ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons, scoop out balls of the cooled macaroni mixture and put them on a baking sheet. Roll each ball in your hand until smooth, then dredge in the flour, dip in the eggs to coat and roll in the breadcrumbs until completely covered. Put the balls back on the baking sheet and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Pour enough oil into a large heavy pot to come 2 inches up the side and attach a deep-frying thermometer to the pot. Heat the oil over medium heat to 360 degrees F.
• Working in batches, fry the balls until golden brown on the outside and heated through inside, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, lift the balls from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Stir together the mayonnaise, buttermilk and remaining packet ranch seasoning in a small bowl until smooth. Transfer the mac 'n' cheese balls to a serving platter, drizzle with some of the dressing and serve with the remaining dressing on the side for dipping.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, ranch dressing mix and chicken. Form the mixture into a ball.
• On a cutting board or a piece of wax paper, spread the chopped pecans. Roll the ball in the pecans until it is fully coated. Wrap the ball in plastic and chill for at least one hour.

Steps:

• Combine chicken, salad dressing mix and cream cheese in a mixing bowl, beat at medium speed with an electric mixer just until blended.
• Shape into a bowl and roll in pecans.
• Cover and chill.
• Serve with crackers.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients (except the shredded cheese).
• Shape into a ball and refrigerate until firm, roll in shredded cheese.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Allow cream cheese and cheese to come to room temperature.
• Mix both cheeses and dressing mix with hand mixer until blended.
• Put mixture out on plastic wrap or wax paper and shape.
• Put pecans or bacon bits in large ziplock bag and carefully put cheese mixture in and roll it around to cover the outside with the nuts or bits.
• Refrigerate over night and enjoy! Took only 5 minutes to make this and it was a big hit!

Steps:

• Soften cream cheese, stir in ranch mix and cheese until all combined.
• Form into ball and roll in black pepper.
• Place in fridge and chill overnight for flavors to combine.
• Serve with crackers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch glass baking dish.
• Mix crushed crackers, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, ranch dressing, salt, and pepper in a resealable 1-quart storage bag.
• Dip a chicken breast into the beaten eggs. Lift up so excess egg drips back in the bowl. Add chicken to the bag with the breading and shake until completely covered. Place in the prepared baking dish. Dredge remaining chicken breasts. Top each breast with a pat of butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is golden brown on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Mix salad dressing mix double strength (using the 1/2 mayonnaise and 1/2 cup milk).
• Blend in cream cheese with mixer.
• Gently stir in cheddar cheese.
• Form into a ball (If too soft place in freezer for a hour).
• Garnish with poppy seeds, parsley, nuts, or your choice of topping.
• Serve with crackers.
