Instructions
Using a sharp bread knife, cut the bread on the diagonal in one-inch sections - making sure you don't go all the way through the bread.
Repeat this step going in the opposite diagonal direction so that you have cross hatches.
Place cheddar cheese in between the slices.
Sprinkle bacon crumbles on bread, making sure to get in between the slices.
Mix together butter and ranch dressing seasoning. Pour over bread.
Wrap the entire loaf of bread in foil and place on a baking sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Unwrap. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
