Janette's Cheesy Cob Loaf

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1 (200 ml) container sour cream
• 250 g cream cheese, chopped

• 1 (240 g) can corn
• 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• 150 g ham, finely chopped
• 1 crusty cobb loaf or vienna bread

Directions

1. 1

   Heat the butter in a small pan.

2. 2

   Fry the onion 'til softened.

3. 3

   Transfer to a microwave proof bowl and mix with all the other ingredients.

4. 4

   Microwave on medium to warm a little (about 5 minutes).

5. 5

   This is not really necessary but speeds thing up.

6. 6

   Meanwhile remove a "lid" from the bread loaf, and remove the centre to create a bowl. We cut the removed piece into chunks, and bake for about 5 minutes alongside the bowl to use as dippers.

7. 7

   Place the bowl in a moderate oven for about 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Remove and fill with the mixture, grate some extra cheese over if you wish, and return to the oven to heat through 'til hot and bubbling (about 30minutes).

9. 9

   My neighbour sometimes substitutes bacon for the ham, or adds pineapple.

10. 10

    I think you could add diced capsicum for colour too.
