Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 round sourdough loaf (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Cut the top off the sourdough loaf and scoop out the inside, leaving about a 1-inch border. Tear the removed bread into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Fill the hollowed-out sourdough loaf with the cheese and bacon mixture.
Place the filled loaf on a baking sheet and brush the outside with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
Serve warm with the reserved bread pieces for dipping.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture.
You can also substitute the bacon with cooked sausage or diced ham for a different flavor.
