Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° F.
In a bowl add 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 14 ounces sour cream, 10 ounce can Rotel, drained, 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened to room temperature, 1/2 cup chopped ham, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Mix until combined. Set aside.
Cut the top of 16 ounce French bread loaf into an oval shape. Cut down, but do not cut through the other side of the bread. Cut the top of the bread into pieces for dipping.
Hollow out any excess bread with clean hands. You can use that bread for dipping.
Transfer the cheese mixture to the hollowed-out loaf of bread.
Top the cheese mixture with the remainder 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
Wrap the loaf with aluminum foil. Try to leave extra room so the foil doesn’t touch the cheese (or just use nonstick foil).
Bake for 45 minutes or until heated through. Remove from the oven.
Top with the remainder of the ham and green onions.
Optional: You can also sprinkle red pepper flakes on top then serve.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
