Warm Bacon Cheese Spread

1 round long sourdough bread or french bread (you will be hollowing it out)
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
3/4 pounds bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup chopped green onion
Assorted crackers
--------------------------------------------------------
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Cut the top of the bread off and carefully hollow it out. You want to leave about a 1 inch thick shell/bowl.

In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese. Add everything else except the bacon and onion, stir until blended. Stir in the bacon and onion. Spoon the mixture into the bread bowl. Wrap in foil and bake for 1 hour or until heated. You want the filling to be a good warm, thick dip consistency.
