"Your party will be the best one of the year when you serve this
special dip baked inside a loaf of bread. It will be the centerpiece
of the table and the centerpiece of the party, too."

drained and cut into quarters Garlic bread for serving

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut a hole about 5 inches in diameter in
the top of the bread. (If you wish, make a decorative zigzag
pattern.) Reserve crusty part to make top for loaf. Scoop out most of
the soft inside portion of the loaf and save for another purpose,
such as stuffing or bread crumbs. In a skillet, saute' the scallions
and garlic in the butter until scallions wilt. Do not burn! Place the
cream cheese in a medium sized bowl; add the scallions, garlic, sour
cream, and Cheddar cheese. Mix well. Fold in the artichoke hearts.
Fill hollowed-out bread with this mixture. Replace top of bread and
wrap in a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake for
about 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours. Remove foil and top of bread and serve,
using thin slices of warm garlic bread as dippers.

Note: The best part of this dish is when the dip is gone and all you
have left is the breadd, which is soaked in all those delicious
ingredients. Just break the bread up and pass it around!
