This Loaded Bacon Cheese Ball is the perfect appetizer. I love to make this for small gathering, or when my family over for dinner or a celebration. Cheese Balls are a classic appetizer, and they are always a big hit.

This recipe comes from Suzanne's second book, Beyond Simply Keto. We hope you enjoy this recipe with our crunchy keto crackers!
