Not a traditional Fondue but perfect for entertaining and feeding the masses on match day, delicious also as a hot party dip that will have them lining up for more and possibly missing the winning score!
Heat butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion and bacon until bacon is crisp.
Add garlic and spinach and cook until spinach is soft and cooked.
Place sour cream and cream cheese into fry pan and mix until well blended together. Add tasty cheese and turn off heat. Mix until combined.
Cut top off cob loaf and reserve. Hollow out cob loaf saving bread for dipping later and place in a sealed container or bag to keep soft. Place cob on a baking tray.
Pour cheese mixture into hollowed out loaf and place on lid. Wrap loaf several times in foil and place in oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bread is crisp.
When almost done break left over bread into bite size pieces to be used as dipper for the dip, extra bread may be needed.
Serve by removing foil and lid of fondue and placing in middle of table. As the dip is consumed the surround is also broken up and used as dippers.
