Cheese and bacon bread bowl

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) shredded cheddar cheese

1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

3/4 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled

1/2 cup chopped green onions

Directions:

Cut the top fourth off the loaf of bread; carefully hollow out the bottom, leaving a 1-in. 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 24 in. x 17 in.).

Bake at 325° for 1 hour or until heated through. Serve with crackers and reserved bread cubes.
