A super quick way to do it,

In saucepan brown 1/2 a diced onion and about 3 rashers of chopped bacon in a little bit of olive oil or cooking spray. (must use saucepan not frying pan) once lightly browned, add 1 block of philly cheese, 1 cup grated cheese, 4 tbsp of sour cream. Mix well. Stir until all cheese melted and mixture is smooth. Careful not to let it catch and burn, it does burn real easy.

Meanwhile chop top off cob loaf, and rip insides out. Pop insides ripped up onto a tray and pop into oven, along with hollowed cob. Leave in oven until golden, Spoon melted bacon and cheese mixture into cob loaf, and 'whalla' instant cob loaf dip, no oven baking required.

There are other delicious versions around, spinach or tuna etc.

I also make a tuna one, in saucepan saute 1/2 diced onion then add a handful of finely chopped spinach leaves. Then add tin of tuna, block of philly cheese and a couple of tbsp of curry powder and a couple of tbsp of sour cream to make it not so thick. Heat until all mixed, serve in cob loaf or just a bowl as a warm dip, yummo!

Another great dipper to use as the chunks of cob loaf disappear rather quickly, get a large round pita bread, cut the whole bread into triangles (think of corn chip shape) lay on tray, spray with cooking spray and then sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning and bake, or brush lightly with a mixture of olive oil with crushed garlic in it, then sprinkle with sea salt, bake in oven until lightly golden and just going crispy.
