The 1970s brought with it some iconic dishes, one of which was the Giant Cheeseball. 🧀 🍽️

It didn’t take long for the smell of green onion, bacon, and ranch seasoning to fill the dining room as we mixed everything into a huge ball. We couldn’t wait to eat our fill, but we made sure to save one cheeseball to share with our 3p-11p and 11p-7a Care Partners. 😋

Thank you, Dani, for bringing all of the ingredients! 👩‍🍳
