Laura's Cheesy Bread

My friend Laura brought this to a party years ago, and I remember thinking, "it's a good thing it's an edible bowl because I can't stop eating this!" It's great for Game Day (which is a holiday in the south and thus deserves capitalization), or any other time hot cheesy dip in a breadbowl seems appropriate... yep, pretty much whenever!

Ingredients
2 loaves White Mountain bread, unsliced
1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup hot salsa
1 ½ shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400.

Cut ¼" slice from top of one loaf of bread and reserve. Remove center from bread leaving ½" thick shell.

Beat together cream cheese, sour cream, and salsa until smooth. Stir in cheddar cheese and spoon into bread shell. Place top back on bread, wrap entire loaf in foil and bake for 1 ½ hours.

Tear up the the inside pieces of from the bowl loaf along with the remaining loaf for dipping. Serve on a platter along side the hot dip.
