Warm Bacon Cheese Spread

By MrsGiggles78

Easy and mess free! This bacon cheese spread bakes right in a bread bowl and works wonderfully with any dipper, such as veggie sticks or chips.

Ingredients

• 1 round loaf (1-pound) sourdough bread
• 1 package (8-ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/2 cups (12-ounces) sour cream
• 2 cups (8-ounces) cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 3/4 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
• Assorted crackers

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the top fourth off the loaf of bread; carefully hollow out the bottom, leaving a 1-inch shell. Cut the removed bread and top of loaf into cubes; set aside.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add the sour cream, cheddar cheese and Worcestershire sauce until blended; stir in bacon and onions.

Spoon into bread shell. Wrap in a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 24x17 -inch). Bake at 325°F for 1 hour or until heated through. Serve with crackers and reserved bread cubes.
