When I was given the task to create a Super Bowl recipe, I jumped at it. We love all things Mexican in this house. My son and daughter, while they love food, are picky when it comes to dinner. Fortunately, we’ve found that they (our son especially) share our love for Mexican food so I always know that I can make a Mexican themed dinner and that they will eat it!
I came up with this Mexican Cheese Boat recipe. Why is it called a “boat”? Because you take a fresh loaf of Italian bread and hollow it out making it shaped like a boat. Then you fill it with yummy, cheesy goodness.
There are not many ingredients in this recipe! Just buy a loaf of fresh Italian bread, and make sure you have cream cheese, salsa, refried beans and of course cheddar cheese!
Hollow the loaf of Italian Bread and mix the cheese ingredients together in a separate mixing bowl.
Fill the loaf with the cheese ingredients and top with cheddar cheese! Cover with tin foil. Bake for 35 minutes. Take the tin foil off and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until shredded cheese is melted.
The finished product is so yummy. Warm, smooth, flavorful cheese dip just waiting to be dipped into! We dipped Delimex Taquitos and Delimex Tacos into our Mexican Cheese Boat but this Mexican Cheese Boat would also go perfectly with tortilla chips! Yum!
Dip right into your cheese boat or spoon some of the cheese onto a plate.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
What a great idea! I love soup in bread bowls, but hadn’t thought of using one for dip! Looking forward to trying this idea soon! #client
