Family Recipes: Cheese Dip Bread Bowl

This is one of my most-requested appetizers. I found this recipe over 30 years ago in a magazine and I have made it almost every year since.

Here are the ingredients:

Round unsliced bread loaf

2 packages cream cheese

1 pint sour cream

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

small can chopped green chilies

2 tsp worcester sauce

garlic salt and Italian spices to taste

Cut vegetables for dipping

Cut off the top of the bread loaf and scoop out the inside, leaving an inch of bread around the outside.

Mix the rest of the ingredients and put into the bread loaf, replace the top and wrap in foil.

Bake on a cookie sheet at 400 for 1 hour.

The best part is eating the bread when the dip is gone!

 

Family Recipes: Brownie Cheesecake

I created this delicious recipe last year for my son's rehearsal dinner. Needless to say, it was a huge hit!

Brownie Mix of your choice

2 1/2 packages cream cheese

1 can sweetened condensed milk

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1. Make brownie mix according to directions. Pour into large springform pan, bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, until brownie starts to set. (Be sure to place pan on baking sheet)

2. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, milk, eggs and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

3. Pour cheesecake mixture over brownie, bake at 300 for 1 hour. Turn oven off and cool in oven 1 hour.

Delicious!
