Hudson Family Breadbowl Dip

A few years ago, Matthew and Allyson hosted a New Year's Eve party at their place. It was a potluck, and Krysta brought the yummiest dip. It was a much-loved recipe in her and Kenda's family, and has become the same in mine. I have since served it many times, and each time it is a giant hit. So here it is people, the famous breadbowl dip recipe. My mouth if watering right now while I am typing this, just wishing I had some in front of me.

On a side note, I believe this dip is the single cause of obesity in North America, so serve it only when going for taste, not lowered-risk of heart disease.

Hudson Family Breadbowl Dip

Ingredients

• 1 package of cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup REAL mayonnaise (Miracle-Whip does not work here)
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 8-10 full slices of bacon, cooked, crispy, and crumbled (The three C's of bacon)
• 1-2 store-bought baguettes, sliced, or an assortment of crackers for serving
• 1 store-bought round loaf of bread, such as sourdough or pumpernickel

Directions

1. Preheat over to 400 degrees.
2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and mayonnaise together until smooth.
3. Stir in the green onions, cheese and bacon.
4. Take the round loaf of bread, and cut a circle on the very top. Make it deep enough to go about 3/4 of the way into the loaf, but not deep enough so it hits the bottom. Remove your circle, and scoop out the bread in the middle of the loaf. This is your breadbowl. You can cut the top of the loaf, and the bread you scooped out, into bite size pieces to be served with the dip once it is fully baked.
5. Scoop the dip into the breadbowl, and wrap the breadbowl in tinfoil.
6. Place in the oven for 40-60 minutes, until the center of the dip is hot. Let cool 10 minutes before serving with baguette slices or crackers.
7. Ignore all warning signs of a heart attack, and eat the dip while it is still warm.
