Dip 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
Bread and Garnish
- 16 ounce French bread loaf
- 1 green onion, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350° F to prepare for baking the dip.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine 2 cups 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 all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and set aside.
- Prepare Bread: Cut the top of the French bread loaf into an oval shape, cutting down but not all the way through to the other side. Remove the cut pieces to use for dipping.
- Hollow Bread: Scoop out the interior of the bread loaf carefully, removing excess bread with clean hands to create a cavity for the dip. Reserve the removed bread for dipping later.
- Fill Bread: Transfer the cheese and ham mixture into the hollowed-out bread loaf, filling it evenly.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the filled bread loaf.
- Wrap and Bake: Wrap the loaf loosely with aluminum foil, ensuring there is some space so the foil does not touch the cheese. Use nonstick foil if possible. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the dip is heated through and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the loaf from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil. Top the baked dip with the remaining chopped ham and sliced green onions. Optionally sprinkle additional red pepper flakes for extra heat before serving.
Notes
- Use nonstick aluminum foil or leave space so the foil does not touch the cheese to avoid sticking.
- The hollowed-out bread removed can be toasted and used as dippers for the dip.
- Rotel adds a mild spicy and tangy flavor; you can substitute with diced tomatoes and chopped green chiles if needed.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the heat level to your preference.
