Ingredients
- 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 8 slices bacon, partially cooked and chopped
- 2 green onions, white parts thinly sliced, green parts thinly sliced and reserved separately for garnish
- 1 round artisan or sourdough loaf
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the Monterey Jack, Cheddar, parsley, bacon and onion whites in a bowl and mix well.
- Cut the bread in strips in one direction, being careful not to cut all the way through the loaf. Rotate the bread 90 degrees and cut in the other direction to create small squares across the top of the loaf. Move slowly and use caution. Place the bread on a large sheet of aluminum foil.
- Stuff the cheese mixture in between the rows of squares. Mix the melted butter and ranch dressing, then drizzle over the top. Wrap the loaf in the foil and bake for 25 minutes. Open the foil and continue to bake until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly, another 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the onion greens and serve immediately.

What a HIT!! Made this for a girls white elephant party and everyone LOVED IT!! Recipe was shared right away…you nailed it, Ree!!
Absolutely loved this recipe!! Made it for Superbowl Sunday and it was a hit. I did only use 1 tablespoon of the ranch seasoning and it was plenty salty. I will be adding this to my appetizer rotation for get togethers.
We all loved this, even grandsons!
I love this recipe & it turned out great. So delicious & I added some mozzarella also.
I will be making this again & again.
I will be making this again & again.
I wonder if Italian seasoning would work too?
Agreed by all three generations at our table, this was excellent!!!
This stuff was so stinking awesome! I just love the combination of the bacon, ranch and cheese with the tanginess of the sour dough bread!
Easy! Crunchy! Cheesy! Huge crowd-pleaser!
2 tablespoons of ranch mix was a little too much (which I didn’t think was possible but it was definitely overpowering). Reduced to 1 tablespoon and so good.
Soooo good!!
