Mississippi Sin Dip
Mississippi Sin Dip is a warm, creamy appetizer that’s perfect for gatherings. It’s a delightful blend of cheeses, ham, and seasonings, traditionally baked inside a hollowed-out loaf of bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked ham, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 round loaf of bread (e.g., sourdough or French bread)
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Bread Bowl:
- Slice off the top of the bread loaf and hollow out the center, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell.
- Keep the removed bread pieces for serving.
- Mix the Dip:
- In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add sour cream and mix until creamy.
- Stir in cheddar cheese, chopped ham, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Assemble:
- Spoon the cheese mixture into the prepared bread bowl.
- Place the filled loaf on a baking sheet and wrap it with aluminum foil.
- Bake:
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Unwrap the foil and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes until the dip is hot and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Garnish with sliced green onions.
- Serve warm with the reserved bread pieces, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- For a spicier version, consider adding diced jalapeños or increasing the amount of hot sauce.
- Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded varieties.
- If you prefer, you can bake the dip in a baking dish instead of a bread bowl.
