Warm Bacon Cheese Dip
This Warm Bacon Cheese Dip is the most addicting appetizer or party food! Elise served this all the time at family gatherings and it became such a hit I knew I needed to have the recipe for myself, and then of course share it with you! Many of our family holiday parties or New Year’s Eve game nights includes this cheesy, savory, creamy dip. And because it comes together with only five simple ingredients, you can make it all the time! My favorite part is that it’s baked right in a round sourdough loaf. It stays nice an insulated in the bread bowl and stays warm long after coming out of the oven, so it’s the perfect addition to any buffet spread.
Tips for the Sourdough Bread Bowl
It’s easy to find large sourdough bread loaves at your grocery store or bakery. You want it large enough to old all the ingredients, so look for one that will hold about five cups of filling once hollowed out.If you don’t love sourdough bread, find a nice Italian bread round or honey whole wheat. Just make sure it’s crusty on the outside and tender on the inside so it can hold all the cheesy sauce without getting soggy.Use caution when removing the bread from inside the loaf; you’ll want to keep the walls of the bowl thick enough to hold the dip.You will definitely need more bread for dipping than what you hollow out from the sourdough loaf. Buy extra bread, crackers or pita chips 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.
