I've been making a variation of this recipe for years, but never knew there was an official name! In these parts, we call it "Italian Bread Loaf Dip". Most of the ingredients are the same, with a few changes: Hollow out an Italian bread loaf, mix together 8 oz. cream cheese, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 16 oz. sour cream, 2.5 oz. chopped Carl Buddigs beef, minced onion (to taste), and garlic powder (to taste). Favorite dippers: Ritz Chips, Ritz crackers and tortilla chips. Maybe I should call it the Ohio 5.2 ? Excellent recipe! A favorite at every casual get-together as it is always requested. Hey Smoove Gravy, bring the bread dip!
