Ingredients
  

1 large loaf of crusty bread (like Italian or French)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 8 slices)

1/4 cup ranch dressing

1/4 cup chopped green onions (scallions)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional: additional bacon and green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Bread: Using a serrated knife, slice the loaf of bread in a crisscross pattern, making deep cuts without going all the way through the bottom. Aim for about 1-inch apart.

      Mix the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

        Stuff the Bread: Carefully open the cuts of the bread and stuff the cheese and bacon mixture into all the crevices, ensuring an even distribution.

          Drizzle with Butter: Pour the melted butter over the stuffed loaf, ensuring it seeps into the cuts and coats the top.

            Wrap and Bake: Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil, making sure it’s completely covered. Place it on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

              Unwrap and Crisp: After 20 minutes, carefully unwrap the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is golden brown.

                Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. For extra flair, garnish with additional crumbled bacon and chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart pieces of cheesy, bacon-loaded goodness!
