This is a little recipe I made up several years ago to take to a company dinner and it was a big hit.
My hubby loves this and asked me to make it so I thought I'd share the recipe here. This recipe makes a ton of spread so its great for large crowds or a very hungry husband.
It is great served on veggie crackers, celery sticks, carrot sticks, chips or used as a sandwich spread.
Ingredients:
- 2 8oz packages cream cheese
- 1 16 oz package cooked chopped ham
- 1/2 finely chopped onion
- 2 Cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 16 oz bottle Ranch salad dressing
Ingredient Suggestions:
- I use Farmland cooked fine chopped ham
- I have also in the past used sliced deli ham and chopped it myself
- cooked crisp bacon crumbles is also great in this as a substitute for the ham

- Green onions are also great to use in this and adds a bit of color
- Wild onion greens if available are fantastic!
Directions:
Cube cream cheese to make it easier to work with and place in medium/large mixing bowl.
Add ham, onion, cheddar cheese and depending on how thick you want your spread to be you might start with 1/2 the bottle of dressing and just keep working a little in until you get the desired thickness. Keep in mind once refrigerated it does thicken up and becomes more solid.
