This was a big hit at the SuperBowl party but we didn't use the bread dowl, just warmed it in a dish in the oven and then served it with the bread in a fondue pot to stay warm.

I made this dip for a party and threw it away after trying it. It was awful and very greasy. I can't believe there have been so many good reviews on it.

I took this for Thanksgiving this year and it was the biggest hit of the day!

Awesome! My whole family loved it. The only change I made was not adding onions!

Great dip, but needed a 1-1/2 lb loaf. Instead of the hassle of cooking bacon, used 1 - 3oz/85g pkg bacon bits . Did not need to replace the top. Set on parchment lined baking sheet covered loosely w/ tin foil b/c the bread can burn easily. Served w/ crackers - it was delicious. Enough for 4 people.
