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!!

All credit to my friends Craig & Becky for introducing us to Apache Bread Dip.  It’s the perfect recipe to take to a party or gathering.  Simple ingredients that come together quickly.  Warm it up at home, wrap it in foil and prepare to be very popular when you unveil it for friends.
