Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the top off the loaf of bread and hollow out the inside, leaving about an inch of bread around the edges to form a bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, and sour cream until well blended.
Stir in the cooked sausage, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Spoon the cheese and sausage mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl.
Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm, pulling apart the bread to dip into the cheesy filling.
Variations & Tips
For a different flavor profile, try using spicy Italian sausage or adding a handful of chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the cheese mixture. You can also experiment with different cheeses, such as Gruyère or fontina, for a more complex taste. If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the sausage with sautéed mushrooms or spinach. To make the bread bowl extra crispy, brush the outside with melted butter before baking.
