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.
Ingredients
- Sour Cream
- Cream Cheese
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Ham- You can use deli ham or leftover holiday ham!
- Green Onion
- Hot Sauce
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Black Pepper
- French Bread
Tips
- Hand Blender: I like to use a hand blender to mix the ingredient 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.
My Favorite Dippers To Use
- Bread Chunks: Use the guts of the bread loaf you hollow out. If you follow the recipe and 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.

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.
- 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 cream cheese and mix until well combined. Spoon the mixture into 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 preheated oven for 1 hour. Serve with reserved bread or crackers.

Made this for New Years Eve and it was a great hit! Will make again.
Wow, that’s amazing, Cindy! Happy New Year! 🙂
We make it with canned shredded chicken better taste
I haven’t tried it yet but intend too since it sounds so good..
Hi, Gwendolyn! I hope you’ll like it. Let us know how it turns out! 🙂
I’ve always cooked bacon and used it in this recipe. Usually I make it at Christmas so ham is being served anyway. There is never any leftovers!
Wow! That’s fantastic, Sherry!
This dip is wonderful! I make it for showers and gatherings at our church and there is never any left to bring home. Also, it’s something different, so I’m usually the only one that makes it.
Wow, Michek! Thank you! That’s wonderful, they really loved it! Make an extra batch next time. 🙂
Yum, perfect dip!
Thank you, Maria! 🙂
looks delicious
I’m so excited to make this dip. It was one of my favorites growing up and I also forgot about it… Thank you!!!!
Question/tips/suggestions
Making it for the day tomorrow as a dip to serve for 25 people I am traveling to so I need to prepare it tonight so it’s ready to serve when people get hungry. Can you bake it, leave in foil, refrigerate overnight, and reheat it in the oven? Or prepare all leave in foil refrigerate overnight and pop it in the oven when I get there? I don’t want to slave around in someone else’s kitchen for too long. Thanks!
Hi Anna. I’d prepare it and wrap it in foil, refrigerate it, then wait to bake it until you get there 🙂
Can you make this is a Crock-Pot instead of the oven?
Hi Candace! I’ve never made it in a crockpot so I can’t advise! But if you give it a try, let us know how it turns out for you.
Hi Kathleen, I was just wondering if I could use sausage instead of the ham? I haven’t tried it yet but it sounds really good and easy. Thanks for posting
Hi Debbie. I think sausage would be fabulous in this recipe. It needs to be precooked 🙂
I stumbled on this recipe and I am so excited to prepare it. My family and friends will really enjoy this. Thanks for sharing!
You’re so welcome Bertina 🙂
