Recipe Talk

My sister-in-law gave me a recipe for Alabama Dip and I can't find it and she is out of town. It contains swiss cheese, cream cheese, bacon (crumbled), shallots. That's all I can remember and think is in the recipe. I don't know how long you bake it for or at what temp. If anyone knows this dip recipe I would appreciate your help. Thanks!

Make dip as you recall, then bake as the recipe below, and taste.

BAKED PARTY DIP
Categories: Appetizers
Yield: 6 servings

1 ea Round loaf dark bread
5 ea Green onions, chopped
6 ea Garlic cloves, crushed
2 tb Butter
8 oz Cheese, cream
2 c Cream, sour
12 oz Cheese, cheddar, shredded
1 cn Artichoke hearts

Bread should be unsliced.

Preheat oven to 350. Cut a hole about 5″ in diameter in the top of the
bread. (If you wish, make a decorative zigzag pattern.) Reserve crusty
part to make top for loaf. Scoop out most of soft inside portion and
save for another purpose.

In skillet, saute green onions and garlic in butter until onions
wilt. Do not burn! Soften cream cheese and cut into small chunks,
then place in medium-sized bowl; add onions, garlic, sour cream, and
Cheddar. Mix well. Drain non-marinated artichoke hearts and cut into
quarters. Fold in artichoke hearts.
Fill hollowed-out bread with this mixture. Replace top of bread and
wrap in a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake for
about 1-1/2 hours.

Remove foil and top of bread and serve, using thin slices of warm
garlic bread as dippers.
Note: The best part of this dish is when the dip is gone and all you
have left is the bread, which is soaked in all those delicious
ingredients. Just break the bread up and pass it around!
