Introduction

Mississippi Sin Dip is a rich and creamy party favorite that’s perfect for sharing with friends and family. Loaded with sharp cheddar, ham, and flavorful spices, this dip is baked inside a hollowed-out French bread loaf, making it both delicious and fun to serve.

A toasted brown bread boat filled with a creamy, white and yellow cheesy mixture topped with melted orange cheddar cheese, small red bacon bits, and green sliced scallions scattered on top. The bread's crust is firm and golden brown, containing the thick, rich dip inside. Around the bread boat, there are round, light golden crackers arranged in a fan shape on a white marbled surface, along with pieces of torn white bread crumbs. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 (16-ounce) loaf French bread
1 (8-ounce) package softened cream cheese
1 (8-ounce) container sour cream (1 cup)
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
1 cup finely diced ham
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
1-2 dashes hot sauce (optional)
3 sliced green onions

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the top off the French bread loaf and hollow it out, removing some bread to create space for the filling. Leave enough bread on the sides and bottom to hold the mixture securely. Save the top and extra bread pieces for dipping later.
Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Mix in the sour cream, shredded cheddar, diced ham, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, hot sauce (if using), and sliced green onions until well combined.
Step 3: Spoon the filling into the hollowed-out bread loaf. Sprinkle additional cheese on top if desired. Wrap the bread loosely in foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Step 4: Uncover the top of the loaf and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the filling is bubbly. Garnish with extra green onions if you like and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, increase the amount of hot sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
Swap diced ham for cooked bacon or sausage to change up the flavor.
Use a sharp or smoked cheddar to add depth to the dip.
Mix in some chopped jalapeños or green chilies for a spicy twist.

Storage

Store any leftover Mississippi Sin Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the dip in an oven-safe dish and warm at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes until heated through. You can also microwave individual servings until warm.
