First of all take a deep breath and do not over react the dog is only guarding a valuable resouce and you growl to if someone walked by and took your plate or tried to when you were very hungry. It is not the end of the world you just need to teach a differnt responce.
Yeach him that it will be just fine if your close.

1. no food bowl... supper is hand feed by you and do that for a few days.
2. then after he is calmly taking food from your hand then add the bowl. One peice of kibble at a time dropped in.

3. Then add two at a time once you worked up to a full meal in the bowl you then either walk by and add a special treat or swap the bowl out for a speical treat and then pass the bowl back.
What you want to do is teach your coming up to him is not the end of a meal or the world.

Or you can just alpha roll him a prove your at the most dangerous thing in his life and teach him fear.
