My entire family loves this cheese dip. I often get requests to bring it to gatherings with friends. Chopped scallions make a pretty garnish. Ingredients:
1 round loaf (1 pound) pumpernickel bread |
2 jars (5 ounces each) sharp american cheese spread |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup beer or nonalcoholic beer |
1/2 cup real bacon bits |
Directions:
1. Cut top fourth off loaf of bread; carefully hollow out bottom, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. Cube removed bread; set aside.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cheese spread and cream cheese. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in beer. Microwave, uncovered, 20 seconds longer. Stir in bacon.
3. Fill bread shell with cheese dip. Serve with reserved bread cubes. Yield: 2-1/2 cups.
