Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

To serve in a bread bowl, cut the very top off of the bread and hollow out, leaving about a 1-inch shell and reserving the bread from both the top and the inside. Set the top aside and cut the inside bread into cubes or tear into chunks, if desired, to use for dipping, or reserve for another use.

Step 3

Cream the cream cheese and sour cream together until well blended.

Step 4

Add all of the remaining ingredients and mix in well.

Step 5

Place enough aluminum foil to wrap around the bread on a baking sheet and pour the cheese mixture into the bread bowl; otherwise transfer mixture into a baking dish. Return the top piece of bread on top and wrap the loaf completely in the foil. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 1 hour. Serve hot!

Step 6

Serve with the reserved bread, an assortment of vegetables, crackers, tortilla chips or corn chips.
