Apache Bread Dip

We fell in love with Apache Bread Dip from the moment we were first introduced. 

What’s not to love about a hot ham & cheese dip served in a crusty bread bowl. 

If you’re lucky enough to score an Italian loaf in the shape of a football, while you might as well serve this dip on Game Day!!

It’s the perfect recipe to take to a party or gathering.  Warm it up at home, wrap it in foil and prepare to be very popular when you unveil it for friends.
