margarine.  Reduce heat to low.  Add cheese and stir until melted.  Stir
in remaining ingredients;  heat thoroughly, stirring constantly.  Spoon
into bread loaf;  Serve hot with toasted pieces and vegetable dippers.
I do not heat the bread if I use the dark rye and you can just cut all
of the bread up into bite sized pieces and keep the cheese in a bowl.
