WHAT IS MISSISSIPPI SIN DIP?
Say hello to a Southern favorite! This is a recipe gem straight out of the home kitchens of the good folks from Mississippi! They’ve created a warm, ooey-gooey, creamy dip loaded with cheese and ham. This appetizer is famous for very good reasons. You will love it…I promise! ♥
WHAT KIND OF BREAD SHOULD YOU USE?
I like to use a 16-ounce, freshly baked loaf of french bread, straight from the supermarket bakery. A similarly sized loaf of Italian bread will work just as well. An unsliced round, 16 ounces or so, of bread works perfectly as well.
MISSISSIPPI SIN DIP INGREDIENTS
- Sour Cream: I use regular sour cream.
- Cream Cheese: I use regular.
- Cheese: I like to use sharp, or extra sharp cheddar for maximum favorite.
- Ham- You can use deli ham or leftover holiday ham!
- Onion: Use green onion, both the white part and the green part.
- Hot Sauce: Use your favorite.
- Worcestershire Sauce: Gives great depth of flavor.
- Black Pepper: I prefer coarse grind in this dip.
- French Bread
TIPS
- Hand Blender: I like to use a hand blender to mix the ingredients to add some air and lighten it up to make it more deliciously “scoopable”!
- Cheese: Can I use pre-shredded bagged cheese? Of course! I prefer to shred my own because the stuff you buy in the bag is coated with wood pulp or a heavy coating of potato starch and isn’t as creamy or gooey when it melts. I love convenience foods, but this is one I use very selectively.
- Bacon? Swap the ham for bacon bits! I love the real bacon bits available already cooked and chopped from most markets. This is a convenience food I use All The Time!
- Skip The Bread Boat: This recipe couldn’t be easier, the only minor effort required is carving out a loaf of unsliced French bread to create an edible vessel to heat the dip up in. If for some reason you want to skip this step, no worries. This dip alone is more than delicious enough to simply heat up in a baking dish.
- You can use sliced deli ham, chopped, or if you happen to have any leftover baked ham use that of course!
- Crockpot: If you’re planning to serve this over an extended time period, skip the bread bowl for serving and keep it warm. Serve it out of a small crockpot.
STORING + FREEZING + MAKE-AHEAD
- How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Can You Freeze This? No, this contains sour cream. Discard any leftovers after the allotted refrigerated time.
- Make-Ahead Tips: This mixture can be mixed ahead of time and refrigerated. Place it in the bread boat/bowl and bake it on the day you want to serve it.
- Food Safety: If you’d like more info on food safety check out this link.
MY FAVORITE DIPPERS FOR MISSISSIPPI SIN DIP
- Bread Chunks: Use the guts of the bread loaf you hollow out. If you follow the recipe, bake this in a bread loaf. Grab a baguette and cut it into scoopable pieces to make sure you have enough.
- Crackers: Crackers are really great with this dip. Skip the bread entirely if you want to have something to simply pour out into a bowl rather than cutting up the bread pieces.
- Hawaiian Bread Bowl: A 16-ounce round loaf of Hawaiian bread is really incredible with this dip!
- Crostini: Homemade or store-bought work wonderfully with this dip.
- Veggies: Sliced carrots, bell peppers of any color, celery sticks, or even jicama are fabulous dippers for this dip.
HOW LONG CAN YOU LEAVE OUT A PARTY DIP?
Food safety is always important. After heating this up, and likely continuing to serve it at room temperature, the general rule of thumb is that a perishable item shouldn’t be left out for more than 2 hours. So since this dip starts out hot, you’ve got a good 30 minutes and 2 hours at room temp.
When served hot as directed, this dip should not be left out to serve to your guest for more than 2 and a half hours.
HOW TO MAKE MISSISSIPPI SIN DIP
- Remove the inner soft part of the bread.
- Combine all the mixture ingredients.
- Spoon the mixture into the hollowed bread.
- Wrap with aluminum foil.
- Bake and serve.

Mississippi Sin Dip
Ingredients
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup ham chopped
- 1/4 cup green onion sliced
- hot sauce few dashes or to taste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (16-ounce) loaf French bread unsliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177ºC).
- Cut a thin, about 1-inch thick, oval slice off the top of the loaf of French bread leaving a couple of inch perimeter. Set aside top. Remove most of the soft part of the bread, leaving a sturdy portion on the sides and bottom. You can save the soft bread to use later with the dip if desired.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese (8 ounces) for 2 minutes with a handheld mixer until light and fluffy. Add the next 7 ingredients to the cream cheese and mix until well combined. Spoon the mixture into the hollowed bread bowl. Place the saved bread top on top of the loaf.
- Wrap the entire loaf in a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Serve with reserved bread or crackers.
