Bread Bowl Fondue

It's not the traditional cheese fondue you are accustomed to, but it's every bit as good. We've even found a great-tasting way to ham it up. One bite and there's no denying that this medley will melt in your mouth.

Ingredients


1 (1 lb.) loaf round bread 8 oz. cheddar cheese, cubed 2 cups sour cream 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened 1 cup diced fully cooked ham 1/2 cup chopped green onions 1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chilies 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 2 tbsp. vegetable oil 1 tbsp. butter, melted Assorted fresh vegetables

Methods/steps

Cut the top fourth off the loaf of bread; set top aside. Carefully hollow out bottom, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. Cube removed bread; set aside. In a bowl, combine the process cheese, sour cream and cream cheese. Stir in the ham, green onions, chilies and Worcestershire sauce. Spoon into bread shell; replace top. Wrap tightly in heavy-duty foil and place on a baking sheet; bake at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until the filling is heated through. Meanwhile, toss reserved bread cubes with oil and butter. Place in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Unwrap loaf and remove bread top; stir filling. Serve with vegetables and toasted bread cubes.
