delicious cheese dip!

this is my go-to appetizer!

you can ask anyone who has ever attended anything pot-luck with me. this, is what i bring.

it is so delicious and pretty easy!

i have given this recipe out a dozen of times!

it is obviously my recipe, i have added or removed this and that from it, but i cannot claim it.

it was stolen from my momma's recipe book and is her good friend kathy mulcock's recipe!

like i said it has been changed here and there 

so i will try to include all options etc. for you to make the final calls!

what you need:
-one round peasant bread {sometimes hard to find. i have always gotten mine at smith's marketplace}
-1.5 cups sour cream
-1 cup grated cheddar cheese
-16 oz. cream cheese
-4 oz can diced green chiles {i always use mild, but i know some like it hot! and i use la victoria brand}-chopped green onions {i usually chop up 2-4}

optional

-chopped artichoke hearts
-chopped spinach
-cooked and chopped ham, shrimp, or bacon

{i always use artichoke hearts and spinach. 

i have tried ham and bacon. bacon is better. and i'm not a shrimp girl so...}

mix all ingredients together.

cut top of bread (like a pumpkin with a lid)
scoop out bread into small dipping pieces.

put dip in bread bowl with (bread) lid on top wrap in tin foil and cook at 350 for 1 1/2 hours.

serve hot with tortilla chips.

you guys it is so delicious, you will have to let me know what you think!!!
