Ingredients
- cream cheese

- Worcestershire sauce
- sharp cheddar cheese
- green onion
- bacon
- round loaf of sourdough bread
- crackers or chips of your choice
Step by step
- Combine cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire, green onion, cheddar, and bacon in a large bowl. Mix until blended.
- Cut off the top third of bread and hollow out the inside, save and cube removed bread for serving.
- Fill hollowed bread with cheese and bacon mixture.
- Bake for one hour or until golden and bubbling.
- Serve warm with cubed bread and crackers or chips.
Tips for best results
- Save a bit of chopped bacon and green onion to garnish the top for serving
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best results
- If you don’t like sourdough bread you can use an Italian loaf, just make sure whatever you choose is hard and crusty on the outside
- Use care when scooping out the interior of the loaf, don’t make the sides too thin so they can support the dip inside
- To omit the bread, bake the dip in a 9 by 9 inch casserole dish for 40 minutes or until bubbly

Yeahhh..looking so yummyyyy…want to eat right now.
Something is wrong with this recipe. If you bake this in the loaf of hollowed out bread for 1 hour at 400 you will have a big black ball of ash.
That’s how long it took in my oven to begin to bubble Eileen-we’ve since moved so I can’t test the oven temperature right now but I never had problems with recipes there. I did have “or until golden and bubbly” because I’ve found that there can be a big difference in oven temperatures so I always find it’s best to keep an eye on these things anyways! I’d love to hear how long it takes yours to finish cooking if you try the recipe! ~Melissa
