Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided use)
- 14 ounces sour cream
- 10 ounce can Rotel, drained (diced tomatoes with green chiles)
- 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup chopped ham (divided use)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 16 ounce French bread loaf
- 1 green onion, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350° F to prepare for baking the dip.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, drained Rotel, softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup chopped ham, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
- Prepare Bread: Cut the top of the French bread loaf into an oval shape. Slice down but do not cut through the other side, creating a hinge. Cut the top piece into chunks for dipping.
- Hollow Out Bread: Remove and hollow out the center of the bread loaf using your hands, saving the removed bread pieces for dipping if desired.
- Fill Bread with Mixture: Spoon the cheese and ham mixture into the hollowed-out bread loaf evenly.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filled mixture.
- Wrap and Bake: Wrap the filled bread loaf loosely with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil does not touch the cheese. Place it on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 45 minutes until heated through and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, unwrap foil, and top with the remaining chopped ham and sliced green onions. Optionally sprinkle additional red pepper flakes on top before serving.
Notes
- Use nonstick aluminum foil or try to keep foil from touching cheese to prevent sticking.
- The hollowed bread pieces can be used as dippers for extra breadiness.
- For extra spice, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened fully for easy mixing.
- This dip is best served warm straight out of the oven.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently.
