INGREDIENTS
1 loaf Italian bread
8 ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
¼ teaspoon chili powder
15 ounce can HORMEL® Chili No Beans
8 ounces white Cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise (creating a top and bottom) and place both halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Place the softened cream cheese and chili powder in a medium bowl and stir until completely combined. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bread. Then add a layer of chili on top of the cream cheese. Sprinkle the shredded white cheddar on top and bake the bread for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly golden. Cool for a minute or two, then slice the bread into 2-inch pieces.
