Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 10
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 (200 ml) container sour cream
• 250 g cream cheese, chopped
• 1 (240 g) can corn
• 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• 150 g ham, finely chopped
• 1 crusty cobb loaf or 1 vienna bread

Recipe

• 1 heat the butter in a small pan.
• 2 fry the onion 'til softened.
• 3 transfer to a microwave proof bowl and mix with all the other ingredients.
• 4 microwave on medium to warm a little (about 5 minutes).
• 5 this is not really necessary but speeds thing up.
• 6 meanwhile remove a "lid" from the bread loaf, and remove the centre to create a bowl. we cut the removed piece into chunks, and bake for about 5 minutes alongside the bowl to use as dippers.
• 7 place the bowl in a moderate oven for about 5 minutes.
• 8 remove and fill with the mixture, grate some extra cheese over if you wish, and return to the oven to heat through 'til hot and bubbling (about 30minutes).
• 9 my neighbour sometimes substitutes bacon for the ham, or adds pineapple.
• 10 i think you could add diced capsicum for colour too.
