Hot Artichoke, Spinach And Bacon Dip

• 1 (440 g) can artichoke hearts, drained,chopped
• 1 (300 g) box chopped spinach, thawed,drained
• 3 slices bacon, cooked,crumbled
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise (I used Best's)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 green onions, finely sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, to taste
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• paprika
• 1 loaf round crusty bread

1. Remove a lid from the loaf of bread. Scoop inside of bread out, leaving about a 1/2 inch shell.
2. I baked the lid and the soft insides for 5 minutes, then broke into chunks for dipping.
3. Mix together all ingredients except paprika, and pile into bread shell.
4. Sprinkle over paprika, and bake in a moderate oven for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbling.
5. Serve with vegetables and crackers to dip (I just like to rip the bread shell apart though).
