Ingredients

1 large loaf French bread
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup mayonnaise
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 (0.7-ounce) package Italian salad dressing mix
1 (2 1/4-ounce) jar chopped dried beef, optional

Directions

Slice the loaf lengthwise, and remove the excess dough from the inside to make room for the stuffing. In a medium size bowl, combine all of the remaining ingredients and mix well. Fill the hollowed bread with the mixture. Reassemble the loaf, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve, approximately 3 hours. To serve, slice the loaf into 1-inch sections.

Crowd Pleaser
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Served this at two parties and everyone loved it. I did try it out first as it was written and there was too much cream... cheese using regular french bread. I use a Baguette instead and just took out the top half of the bread and it came out much better. I needed two loaves to use up all the filling which was fine. I got more serving out of it and I needed it because everyone loved it. The filling could be used as a dip also and it would go over well. Definitely a keeper. Did not use beef but did add green onions.Read more

Switching it Up!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe sounds great for a large crowd. I am planning on making it for my church bible study on Tuesday nights. Only... thing I think I will do is omit the dried beef. Probably be less salty and another member is making wings, so I think this will go nicely with it. I will cook some ground beef. Drain and cool it. Then mix it in. I think that will be more heartier and better tasting. Read more
