Ingredients
Scale
Cheese and Dip Mixture
- 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided use)
- 14 ounces sour cream
- 10 ounce can Rotel, drained (diced tomatoes with green chiles)
- 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup chopped ham (divided use)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Bread and Garnish
- 16 ounce French bread loaf
- 1 green onion, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the dip-filled bread.
- Mix dip ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, drained Rotel tomatoes, softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup chopped ham, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until all ingredients are evenly blended.
- Prepare bread loaf. Cut the top of the French bread loaf into an oval shape and slice down nearly through the bread, leaving the other side intact. Carefully cut the top pieces of bread into bite-size pieces for dipping.
- Hollow out bread. Using your hands, hollow out the inside of the bread loaf to create space for the dip mixture, reserving the bread chunks for dipping.
- Fill bread with dip. Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed-out bread loaf, spreading it evenly.
- Add cheese topping. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dip mixture in the loaf.
- Wrap and bake. Wrap the loaf with aluminum foil, leaving some space to avoid the foil touching the cheese or using nonstick foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
- Garnish and serve. Remove the loaf from the oven, uncover it, and top with the remaining chopped ham and sliced green onions. Optionally, sprinkle additional red pepper flakes for extra heat. Serve warm with the reserved bread pieces for dipping.
Notes
- This dip is great for parties and game days due to its creamy and savory profile.
- You can use nonstick aluminum foil to prevent sticking on top of the cheese.
- Reserve the hollowed bread pieces for dipping to make the most of the loaf.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your preferred spice level.
- Use a 16 ounce French bread loaf for optimal serving size and hollowing space.
