SERVINGS
Ingredients
- 1 round bread loaf
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 1 to 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 chicken breast, grilled and diced into small pieces
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Cut out center of bread to form a bowl. Cut removed bread into 1-inch cubes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, ranch dressing, chicken, and cheddar cheese. Spoon mixture into bread bowl. Place bread bowl on a large nonstick cookie sheet and arrange bread cubes around edges.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Remove bread cubes, and place bread bowl back in oven for an additional 10 minutes. Remove, and garnish top with bacon. Serve with toasted bread cubes.
A great feature of this chicken-bacon bread bowl dip recipe is that it can be warmed in the oven or on the grill.
For tailgating, simply wrap the bread bowl in foil and grill on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes.
