This cheese and bacon cob loaf is an irresistible delight that showcases a crusty round loaf hollowed out and filled with an exquisite combination of melted cheese and crispy bacon.
Using your preferred method, cook the bacon until crispy (I recommend cooking bacon in an air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10–12 minutes). Chop roughly, and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, and French onion dip mix. Using a handheld mixer, mix until well combined and creamy.
Mix the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, ¾ of the chopped bacon, and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives into the cheese mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Spoon the cheese and bacon mixture into the hollowed-out cob loaf or individual bread bowls. Ensure the filling is evenly distributed and packed tightly.
