Slow Ball Dip

Cut a round circle in the bread and hollow out. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the clams, clam juice, onion, beer, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, red hot sauce, salt and pepper until well blended.

With 2 sheets of aluminum foil large enough to cover loaf, fill loaf with cream cheese mixture and seal tightly with foil.

Bake at 350° for 3 hours.
