Sourdough Bacon Bread

It seems we serve bread with about every dinner dish at my house, so I have to shake things up sometimes and make something different. This bread is a gooey, ooey, plate of goodness. Serve it HOT with just about anything. It melts in your mouth!

Sourdough Bacon Bread

1 un-sliced loaf of sourdough bread

1 cube butter (the real stuff is best), melted

1 lb Monterey Jack Cheese, sliced thin

1 lb bacon, cooked, crumbled and drained

Cut the bread lengthwise, then again the other direction, but don't cut it all the way through to the bottom. It will resemble a checkerboard (sort of). Place bread on a large piece of foil and insert your cheese between the cracks in the bread, in both directions. Sprinkle bacon crumbles all over the bread and in the cracks as well. Drizzle melted butter over bread. Wrap foil around bread and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Unwrap bread to expose the top and bake until cheese is melted.... approximately 10-15 minutes.
