Ingredients
- 2 pounds softened cream cheese
- 1 pound chopped crisp cooked bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sliced green onions
- 1 cup medium-diced tomatoes seeds removed
- 1 cup julienne green leaf lettuce
- coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
- 1 large round loaf of bread
Instructions
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, whip the softened cream cheese on high speed for 5 to 7 minutes or until light and fluffy.
- Next, fold in the chopped bacon, cheddar cheese, green onions, tomatoes, salt, and pepper with a rubber spatula until it is combined. Set it aside.
- Next, carve out the center of the loaf of bread so that it is hollowed out.
- Add the cream cheese mixture to the inside of the bread bowl until it is full. It’s ok to over-stuff.
- You can also serve this dip cold as soon as you place it in the bread bowl.
- Serve the BLT Dip Stuffed Bread Bowl with the remaining bread from the inside that was removed, carrot sticks, celery sticks, and assorted crackers. Garnish with any leftover sliced green onions, tomatoes, bacon, and some julienne lettuce leaves.

Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this up to 1 day ahead of time.
- How to Store: Cover the BLT dip and keep it in the refrigerator for 3 days. This will not freeze well.
- How to Reheat: If you like eating this warm, cover the dip in the bread bowl and bake in the oven at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes or until warm.
- You can use cheese such as asiago, gouda, Havarti, or an aged white cheddar instead of the cheddar.
- Feel free to serve this in a small Dutch oven if a bread bowl is not an option.
- If you want to serve this warm, wrap the bread bowl in heavy-duty foil and place it in the oven at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes or until the BLT dip is hot.
