MISSISSIPPI SIN

Here is an appetizer that stands out amongst all the others. Use the large round loaf of sweet Hawaiian bread that is in the Deli of supermarkets. Cole's brand.

2 cups (8oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
1 (8oz.) pkg. cream cheese-softened
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup chopped cooked ham
1/3 cup chopped green chiles
1/3 cup chopped green onions
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 (1lb.) round loaf Hawaiian bread

Combine first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring well. Set dip aside. Cut a thin slice from top of loaf; set aside. Using a gently sawing motion, cut vertically to, but not through the bottom of loaf, 1/2-inch from edge. Lift out center of loaf; cut into 1-inch cubes and set aside. Fill hollowed loaf with dip; cover with reserved top slice of bread loaf. Wrap with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Serve with reserved bread cubes, crackers or chips.
