WARM SPINACH DIP IN A BREAD BOWL
This recipe is Yum-Yum! I don't like spinach, but love this recipe. I found it in our local paper. I made it for New Year's Eve and it was ate before anything else! I used Green Giant creamed spinach, as I couldn't find the Stouffer's and I left out the green onions just as a personal preference. You can use any type of round bread. I used Hawaiian bread, again just a personal selection. You can use round rye or sourdough, etc. Try it and you will see just how delicious this is! (Recipe by Nestle USA.)

Tips:
- Use high-quality bread for the bowl. A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or French bread, will hold up well in the oven and provide a delicious base for the dip.
- Hollow out the bread bowl at least 1 inch thick. This will ensure that there is enough room for the dip and that the bread doesn't get soggy.
- Brush the inside of the bread bowl with melted butter or olive oil. This will help to prevent the bread from drying out in the oven.
- Don't overfill the bread bowl with dip. Leave about 1 inch of space at the top so that the dip doesn't bubble over.
- Bake the dip at a moderate temperature (350 degrees F) for about 20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
- Serve the dip immediately, while it's still hot and bubbly. You can garnish the dip with chopped fresh herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or crumbled bacon.
