Bacon Spinach and Artichoke Bread

Start by laying the beef bacon down on a parchment lined sheet pan. Place bacon in a cold oven and set the temp for 375F degrees and a timer for 18 minutes. Cook longer if needed. Once you have all of the ingredients ready (softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, minced garlic, Parmesan, mozzarella, Gruyère, chopped artichokes, thawed and chopped spinach, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes), add them to a bowl to mix and fully incorporate. Next, slice the top off the French bread and scoop out the guts. Add as much of the mixture in as you can. Top with more cheese. Then cook on the smoker or in the oven at 400F degrees for 14-20 minutes. Keep an eye on it. You want the cheese melted and slightly browned but don’t overcook the bread as it could become hard. Lastly, top with extra beef bacon, chives, and hot honey. Enjoy!
