Ingredients

You may have all of these ingredients for this Mississippi sin dip recipe in your refrigerator or pantry and not need to make a trip to the grocery store! If this is your first time making this hot dip in a bread bowl you might want to read the possible variations before deciding on your ingredients.

Mississippi Sin Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 16 oz sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup ham (diced)
  • ½ cup green onions (diced)

Variations and Substitutions

Ham: You can use diced up holiday ham leftovers, deli ham or ham steak for this game day crowd pleaser. Moreover, you can add some salty bacon crumbles directly to the dip mixture or as a topping, if desired.

Bread: Instead of French bread, you can also use Italian bread or even sourdough bread. Make sure to use a round loaf of bread.

Add Spice: You can add more hot sauce, in case you prefer a hotter dip. Additionally you can add some green chiles or red pepper flakes to this popular dish.

More Spices: If you like to add some extra flavor to this already scrumptious dip, we recommend trying a little bit of garlic powder, smoked paprika or onion powder.

Baking Sheet — When using a bread bowl, you need a sheet pan or 9x13in baking pan to bake the dip. Otherwise we recommend using a pie pan or a 8×8-inch baking dish.

Instructions

This section shows how to make Mississippi sin dip cooked in bread in the oven, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique. For full step-by-step instructions, photos and nutritional information see the recipe in the recipe card below.

PREPARE: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

MIX DIP INGREDIENTS: Firstly, stir together cream cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a mixing bowl until evenly combined. Then stir ham, green onions, and 2 cups cheddar cheese into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 1: bowl of sour cream, cream cheese, worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Step 2 is ham, cheese and green onions on top of cream cheese mixture.

CREATE BREAD BOWL: With a serrated knife, slice off the top of the bread parallel to the loaf. Afterwards scoop out as much of the inside of the bread as you can without tearing through the crust. Then cut leftover bread into cubes and store in an airtight container to serve with the dip.

Step 3: Knife cutting top off bread. Step 4: Bread scooped out and cut into pieces for dipping.

ASSEMBLE AND BAKE: Fill the hollowed-out loaf of bread with the prepared ham dip. Then wrap loaf with a piece of aluminum foil, tenting the foil loosely over the dip.  Afterward, bake for 45 minutes, removing the foil during the last 10 minutes to toast the top of the dip. Serve with bread cubes and other dippers.

Step 5: Dip poured into bread bowl. Step 6: Foil covering dip.

WHAT TO MAKE NEXT: If you love easy, delicious, and crowd pleasing dips then you’ll love our sweet Buckeye Dip. It’s a creamy and delicious peanut butter dip with cream cheese that tastes just like buckeye candies

Make Ahead

You can make the creamy dip mixture a couple of hours or up to 2 days ahead of time. Make sure to store in an airtight container or cover tightly with plastic wrap before transferring it to the fridge. When you are ready to serve, scoop dip into a hollowed-out bread or baking dish and bake according to the instructions in the recipe.

Another one of my favorite dip recipes with ham is Dill Pickle Dip. Not only is it a great party app, but it’s a good snack during the warmer months that’s cool and refreshing!

Recipe Tips

Follow these tips to make the best Mississippi sin dip in a bread bowl.

  • Tip: Soften cream cheese to almost room temperature. That way it blends smoothly with the other dip ingredients.
  • Tip: Grate your own cheese. Pre-grated cheese contains additives and therefore does not provide the same amazing flavor as freshly grated cheese.
  • Tip: Be careful when you hollow out your bread loaf. Do not cut too deep or the dip will leak out during baking.

How To Store

Refrigerate: Store leftover Mississippi sin dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. We recommend removing the leftovers from the bread bowl before storage.

Freeze: Due to the high cream cheese and sour cream content, we do not recommend freezing hot ham and cheese dip leftovers. The consistency of the dip might not be very appetizing after it thaws.

How To Reheat

Reheat Mississippi sin dip leftovers in the microwave or in the oven until hot and bubbly.

Common Questions

Is it possible to make this ham and cheese dip without a bread bowl?

Sure thing! In case you don’t have a loaf of bread at hand, simply pour the dip mixture into a baking dish, casserole dish or pie plate and bake according to the instructions in the recipe.

Can I add any toppings to this great tailgate dip?

By all means!! We recommend some extra cheese, bacon crumbles or sliced green onions.

What should I serve with this hot dip in a bread bowl?

The best part about baking this amazing super bowl dip in a bread bowl is that you already have some dippers with the removed bread cubes. However, this delicious dip goes with most everything. Serve this perfect appetizer with freshly cut veggies, such as celery sticks, baby carrots, or bell peppers, for example. Cheesy ham dip also tastes great with tortilla chips, salty crackers, pita chips, pretzels or toasted French bread slices.

How can I reduce the calorie count of this hot cheese and ham dip?

If you are following a low calorie diet you can make this dip with low fat cream cheese and low fat sour cream. Additionally you can substitute some of the sour cream with low-fat or no-fat greek yoghurt.

How long can this crowd-pleasing dip sit out at room temperature?

We recommend leaving this dip out at room temperature no longer than two hours. After that, in order to stay food safe, give it some time in the fridge to cool down. You can reheat leftovers later in the microwave or oven.
