Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
1 can (4 ounces) tiny shrimp, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup chopped imitation crabmeat
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dill weed
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1 round loaf (1-1/2 pounds) unsliced bread

Directions

1. In a large bowl, beat the first nine ingredients until blended. Cut the top fourth off the loaf of bread; carefully hollow out bottom, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. Cube removed bread; set aside. Fill bread shell with seafood mixture.
2. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Cover top edges loosely with foil. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake 25-35 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and spread is heated through. If desired, top with additional sliced green onions. Serve with vegetables and bread cubes.
