I also always add more cheddar cheese because everything is better with a bit more cheese!<BR/><BR/>2 cups (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese<BR/>1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened<BR/>1 1/2 cups sour cream<BR/>1/2 cup chopped cooked ham<BR/>1/3 cup chopped green chiles<BR/>1/3 cup chopped green onions<BR/>1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce<BR/>1 (1-lb) round loaf French bread<BR/><BR/>Preparation:<BR/>In mixing bowl, combine shredded cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, chopped ham, chile peppers, green onions, and Worcestershire sauce; stir until well blended. Set dip aside.<BR/>Cut a thin slice from top of bread loaf; set slice aside. Using a gentle sawing motion, cut vertically to, but not through, bottom of the loaf, 1/2 inch from the edge, to cut out center of bread. Lift out center of loaf; cut into 1-inch cubes and set aside. Fill hollowed bread loaf with the dip; cover with reserved top slice of bread loaf. Wrap reserved loaf with foil. Bake dip at 350° degrees for 1 hour. <BR/><BR/>Serve with reserved bread cubes, crackers, or potato chips (fritos work well).<BR/><BR/>Makes about 4 cups of dip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1257249876083177597.post-10969206914121022312008-10-10T02:43:00.000-05:002008-10-10T02:43:00.000-05:00My Favorite Holiday Recipe is Spinach Dip! One of ...My Favorite Holiday Recipe is Spinach Dip! One of the reasons I love this recipe is that it gets my kids to eat SPINACH! They love the dip, but wouldn't touch Spinach any other way. It is a very simple, quick recipe that looks great on a buffet table. ENJOY!<BR/> <BR/><BR/>Spinach Dip<BR/><BR/>1 pkg. chopped frozen spinach<BR/>1 can slivered water chestnuts<BR/>3 green onions, chopped<BR/>1 pkg. Knorr Vegetable soup mix<BR/>1 c. sour cream<BR/>1 c. mayonnaise<BR/><BR/>Thaw spinach and press as much of the water out as you can. Mix remaining ingredients with the spinach and serve in a round pumpernickel loaf or King's Hawaiin Bread Loaf (also round). Pull as much of the bread out of the loaf as you can without tearing through the sides. Fill with Dip and serve with pieces of the bread that you took out of the center.<BR/><BR/>HAPPY HOLIDAYS!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
