1/2 lb jack cheese, grated
12 oz cream cheese, softened
1 pint sour cream
4 green onions, chopped
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
5 oz bacon bits
1 large sourdough bread bowl
1 box crackers of choice, optional

Mix first 6 ingredients together.

Cut off top of loaf of bread, hollow out to make a bowl. Save "insides" for later use.

Put cheese mixture into bread bowl, place "lid" on top and wrap entire loaf with foil.

Bake for 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees. Take foil off the last 10 minutes.

Cut "insides" into 1-inch cubes, use for dipping. Can toast in oven for a few minutes first if preferred. Crackers can be used for dipping as well.
