Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 loaf pumpernickel bread
  2. 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  3. 1 cup sour cream
  4. 1 cup shredded corned beef
  5. 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
  6. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  7. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center of the oven.
  2. Carefully slice the top off the pumpernickel bread loaf, creating a bread bowl. Hollow out the center, leaving about a 1-inch thickness around the edges and bottom to create a sturdy container for the dip.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded corned beef, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Add Worcestershire sauce to the mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Stir until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  5. Spoon the corned beef mixture into the hollowed-out pumpernickel bread bowl, ensuring it is packed evenly and fills the cavity completely.
  6. Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the edges of the bread are slightly crispy and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the dip to set slightly.
  9. Cut the remaining bread that was removed into cubes or slice into triangles to use as dipping pieces alongside the warm dip.
  10. Serve immediately while warm, garnishing with additional chopped green onions if desired.

Tips

  1. Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother mixing and better texture.
  2. Choose high-quality, freshly shredded corned beef for maximum flavor.
  3. Don't skip the Worcestershire sauce—it adds depth and complexity to the dip.
  4. Ensure your bread bowl has a thick enough wall to prevent leaking.
  5. For extra crispiness, brush the bread bowl edges with melted butter before baking.
  6. Let the dip rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow it to set and become easier to serve.
  7. Serve with additional dipping options like crackers or vegetable sticks for variety.
  8. If you prefer a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or some red pepper flakes to the mixture.
