Triple Cheese Bacon Ranch Pull-apart Bread

We made this for a Super Bowl get together at my cousin's house. It's very yummy, cheesy and buttery bread!

Ingredients 
  • Sour dough bread loaf
  • bacon
  • sharp cheddar cheese
  • monterey jack cheese
  • parmesan cheese
  • sweet onions
  • butter
  • ranch dip mix
Ingredients: Sour dough bread loaf, bacon, butter, sweet onions, ranch dip mix, sharp cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, parmesan cheese (not pictured)
Place bacon on a rack on a baking sheet. Place in a 400° pre-heated oven until bacon is crispy, about 20 minutes.
The crispy bacon comes out of the oven.
Chop up the bacon into small bits.
Mince the onion, place in a frying pan with some oil over medium heat until lightly caramelized.
The caramelized onions




Cut a grid into the sour dough loaf. Cut deep into the loaf without cutting thru the bread. Leave about 1/2 inch at the bottom of the bread uncut so that bread remains whole
Melt the butter and mix with the ranch dressing mix and put in a squeeze bottle
Assemble the bread. First use the squeeze bottle to pour the ranch/butter mix along the cuts in the bread. Then stuff bread, along the cuts with the three cheese, onions and bacon. Stuff one layer at a time. We put the onions first, then cheddar cheese, monterey jack, then the parmesan cheese. We then topped with bacon and then poured more of the ranch/butter mix. Note that we stuffed the bread along all the cut lines of the bread, both up and down cuts. Wrap the bread in foil and bake for 25 minutes in a 350° oven then open foil and bake another 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
You get a very cheesy, gooey, buttery and bacon bread. Just grab and pull a piece off and enjoy!
