This Bacon Beer Cheese Bread Bowl is the ultimate comfort food. A bowl of crispy bread stuffed with a cheesy, creamy bacon and beer dip. Ideal as a savory snack on game day or to share at parties!
Ingredients: 1 large round bread loaf. 1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled. 1 cup beer your choice. 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. 1/2 cup cream cheese. 1/2 cup sour cream. 1/4 cup chopped green onions. 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. 1/4 teaspoon paprika. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional. Fresh parsley for garnish.
Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 175C 350F. Cut off the top of the bread loaf and remove the center, leaving a bread shell that is about an inch thick. Shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper if preferred should all be combined in a sizable mixing bowl. Blend thoroughly by mixing. Once you have a creamy cheese mixture, slowly pour in the beer while mixing. Reserving some bacon for the topping, stir in three-quarters of the crumbled bacon into the cheese mixture. Making sure everything is evenly distributed, carefully pour the bacon and beer cheese mixture into the hollowed-out bread loaf. After the bread is toasted and the cheese is bubbling, place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Take out of the oven, top with the remaining bacon, and sprinkle with the fresh parsley. Cut the bread bowl into slices and serve right away as a tasty party snack or appetizer.
