A warm, cheesy, and savory dip served in a bread bowl, perfect for gatherings.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture.
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
Use a paper towel to absorb excess grease from the bacon.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, onion, garlic, and crumbled bacon until well mixed.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Cut off the top of the bread loaf and hollow out the center to create a bowl.
Save the removed bread pieces for dipping.
Fill the bread bowl with the cheese mixture and place it on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Line the baking sheet to catch any spills during baking.
Bake the filled bread bowl in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Check halfway through to ensure the top doesn't overbrown.
Serve the dip warm with the reserved bread pieces or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
