In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ¼ cup of sour cream, and the ranch seasoning. Stir until fully blended and smooth.

Gently fold in the shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and half of the bacon bits, mixing until evenly distributed.

Shape the mixture into a football form, then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate the wrapped cheese ball for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.

After chilling, roll the cheese ball in the remaining bacon bits, ensuring it is completely coated.

Spoon the remaining sour cream into a piping bag, snip off the tip, and pipe laces on top of the football-shaped cheese ball. Serve and enjoy!
