This creamy flavorful dip from Linda Doll of St. Albert, Alberta is sure to be popular at parties. “Bake it in a hollowed-out pumpernickel or white round bread loaf,” she suggests. “Serve it with bread cubes, pita bread or assorted raw veggies.” TIP: “I often used canned crab,” Linda notes.
Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
1 can (4 ounces) tiny shrimp, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup imitation crabmeat, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dill weed
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1 round loaf (1-1/2 pounds) unsliced bread
assorted fresh vegetables
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the first nine ingredients until blended. Cut the top fourth off the loaf of bread; carefully hollow out bottom, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. Cube removed bread; set aside. Fill bread shell with seafood mixture.
2. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Cover top edges loosely with foil. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake 25-35 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and spread is heated through. Serve with vegetables and bread cubes. Yield: 4 cups.
