Breaking Bread

This will be the center of the party.  Everyone will be gathered around breaking off one piece after another.  It is so good you may want to make two.  I probably use a little more butter, cheese, ranch mix and of  coarse the bacon then what the recipe calls for depending on the size of the round you get.  This is another great recipes for all kinds of gatherings.  

Pull Apart Bacon, Ranch, & Cheddar Loaf      

1 Round Sourdough Bread - unsliced

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