Crack Bread

I’m an appetizer maniac. So when I found a recipe titled “Crack Bread,” I knew I had to try it! The bacon, cheddar cheese and ranch mix make a delicious combination, but I think I’d add a few more things such as garlic (I put garlic on everything), parsley, ham….now my mind is starting to wander. Make sure you get the ingredients as far into the bread slices as you can, or it’s definitely not as good. Enjoy!

1 unsliced loaf of (round is preferable) sourdough bread
8-12 oz cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
3 oz bag Oscar Mayer Real Bacon bits
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 Tbsp Ranch dressing mix

Using a sharp bread knife cut the bread going both directions. Do not cut through the bottom crust. Place slices of cheese in between cuts. Sprinkle bacon bits on bread, making sure to get in between cuts. Mix together butter and Ranch dressing mix. Pour over bread. Wrap in foil the entire loaf in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Unwrap. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
