Ingredients

2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and chopped

Cut a 1-1/2-in. slice off top of the bread; set aside. Carefully hollow out bottom, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. Cube removed bread and set aside. Fill the shell with spinach dip; replace top. Wrap in heavy-duty foil; place on a baking sheet.

I have made this recipie so many time & every one loves it!! When we host parties or go to parties people ask me if I can make it. My siblings who are picky even like it & that is saying a lot ;) It tastes really good if you slightly toast the bread cubes so that they are a light brown. I normaly just use the inside of a circle loaf that I have hollowed & use a bagett & that is enough! This is deffinatly the best!!!

I make this dip when my husbands family comes to visit. Everyone loves it, I usually make it up the night before and put it in the fridge til the next day. Instead of using the sourdough bread I use the round Kings Hawaiian Bread, it taste excellent.
