This was really good. Made it for New Years Eve and we just loved it. I followed the directions completely, although I did not toast the reserved bread. We did need extra bread for dipping as suggested by many others. I will definitely make this again and again!

My guests loved this. However, I didn't put it in a bread bowl, and it was a little greasy. I think it needs to be in a bread bowl to soak up the extra oil and butter, otherwise, I'd leave those ingredients out.

Made no changes to ingredients and it was YUMMY! A chef asked for my recipe! It did take considerably more time to heat up, and I bought an extra loaf of bread for dipping. I'll make again and again... we'll worth the wait!

I skipped the ham and peppers, and put in shrimp (the small salad size). I had SO many raves about this, I'm REQUIRED to make a minimum of 2 bread bowls per family gathering!!

This recipe is delicious! I doubled the recipe to take to a fondue party and it was all gone! Wonderfully creamy and very cheesy, I used a combination of colby, monterey jack, and cheddar. I was a bit nervous because it definitely doesn't resemble your traditional fondue but it got rave reviews. Makes a wonderful dip for any occasion.

This is an AWESOME recipe. I made it for a party a few days ago. I have a couple of picky eaters in my family and believe it or not.. they were the ones who asked me for the recipe. I did omit the chilie peppers and put in just a FEW jalapeno peppers...(that is what I had on hand.) I used the hawaiian bread because I couldn't find regular round loaf bread. It still came out great!! I will definately make it again..

Excellent! I made this recipe for my Book Club friends and they loved it. One of the ladies started laughing at herself because each time she took a bite, she said "Mmmm." I will definately make it again!

I let this heat in the oven for a full hour, and it came out very soft and easy to dip into. My boyfriend and I couldn't stop going for more!

This was really easy & yummy but a little inconvenient if you're making this with other appetizers as it requires first nuking the ingredients,then baking in the oven as baking alone will not heat/melt the dip.The toasted bread cubes were awesome7 a great idea to serve with any dip.

Everyone loved this recipe. I did substitute 1/2 lb. of bacon for the ham. Also, it seemed to take a very long time to bake but I will just have to remember that for next time (because there will definitely be a next time). I used the bread from 2 round loaves and still didn't have enough for all of the dip so I would suggest having crackers on hand also or else a LOT of bread. You won't have any leftovers here!

This was pretty good! We followed the directions, except leaving out the ham and using a 1 1/2 pound oval loaf of bread. It is NOT like a fondu however, as the name states. It is pretty thick, even after 90 minutes in the oven almost like a cheese spread. So don't expect it to be the same as a fondu. We could not finish it in one day and it heats just as well the second day. Also dipped some carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower in it.

Made this for New Year's Eve with left over ham. It was wonderful! I used a crusty bread and forgot about the cubes in the oven - thought they were going to be too crunchy, but they were perfect. Two thumbs up for this one

We did this as part of our Fondue meal at Christmas and it was a hit. I have to say, we did cook it longer per the other reviews. My husband has been requesting this since, so I'm doing it for a Super Bowl party! Go Bucs!!

Wow. I can't believe this hasn't been tried and adored by more folks. I made this for Christmas Day. I doubled the recipe and put the rest in an oven safe dish. It was devoured VERY quickly by my family. A Sure Fire Hit!!!

I made this for Christmas day, and it went over fantastic with kids and adults. Its easy, hearty, very tasty and not messy, and no dishes to bring home. I mixed it by hand rather than with a spoon etc. I did cook it for about an hour and a half. Very southwesterny flavour. Would also be good with bacon instead of ham. A definate hit!! Making it again for new years.

This got rave reviews at our Christmas party. I took an earlier suggestion and pre-cooked the dip a bit on the stove before baking it(just to melt everything), and it seemed to do the trick. After an hour it was perfect. I also bought a second loaf just for dipping pieces and I'm glad I did. One loaf just doesn't ever offer enough pieces. Toasting the bread is key.

This is wonderful. This is a great recipe and is widely enjoyed. I've also eaten it with crumbled bacon and with both ham and bacon. I've always found that it takes considerably longer to heat throroughly in my oven (which admittedly cooks a little slower). This is great -- if you haven't tried it yet, you must give it a chance.
