Ingredients

  • 1 sourdough round loaf
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cups sour cream
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded, medium or sharp
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 
  • 3/4 pound Bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 green onions (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut out a circle in the top of the bread and gut out the middle to make a bread bowl (save inside pieces of bread for dipping). 
  2. In a mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and Worcestershire sauce. 
  3. Pour into the bread bowl.
  4. Wrap up the whole thing in aluminum foil. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour.
  5. Remove from oven and stir in the bacon.
  6. Garnish with shredded cheese, extra bacon and sliced green onions.
  7. Serve with extra bread pieces from bowl and crackers.

Notes

  • The previous version of this recipe called for the bacon to be stirred in prior to baking, but we have found the bacon will stay crispy if it's mixed in immediately after it's pulled out of the oven. 
  • You can add salt and pepper to taste if you want but we have found it is plenty savory with the bacon and cheddar cheese.
  • You will definitely need more bread for dipping than what you hollow out from the sourdough loaf. You may want an extra loaf of bread, a sliced baguette, crackers, pita chips or even veggies to dunk along with the bread from the sourdough loaf.
  • Garnish the dip with shredded cheddar cheese, extra bacon bits, fresh parsley or green onions.
