Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, Beau Monde, dill weed, parsley, and minced onion together in a bowl.

- Hollow out the sourdough bread round to create a serving vessel.
- Fill the hollowed bread with the dip mixture.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier dip, consider using Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. If you want to add a little kick, try mixing in some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. This dip can also be made ahead of time; just store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. If you're short on time, substituting a store-bought dip can save you some effort.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dip with the hollowed-out sourdough and encourage guests to use pieces of the bread center for dipping. Complement the dip with crisp vegetables like carrots and celery for a refreshing contrast. This dish pairs beautifully with Bite Size Pizza for a fun appetizer spread or can be enjoyed alongside Flank Steak With Fresh Fruit Salsa for a delightful meal.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the dip thickens upon chilling, simply stir in a little milk or sour cream to return it to a creamy consistency. The hollowed sourdough can also be saved, but it's best eaten fresh to maintain its texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dip ahead of time?
Yes, this dip can be prepared a day in advance. Just mix all the ingredients and store in the refrigerator. Allow it to sit for a few hours or overnight for the flavors to meld together. When ready to serve, hollow out the sourdough bread and fill it with the dip.
What can I substitute for corned beef?
If you're looking for a different protein, shredded chicken or diced ham can work as alternatives. For a vegetarian option, consider using finely chopped mushrooms or artichokes to maintain a hearty texture without the meat.
Can I use a different type of bread?
Absolutely! While sourdough adds a distinctive flavor, you can use a crusty baguette, pumpernickel, or even a soft bread like ciabatta. Just ensure the bread is sturdy enough to hold the dip without falling apart.
