Mississippi Sin Dip Ingredients
For Mississippi Ham Sin Dip, you’ll need:
- Cheddar cheese, shredded
- Cream cheese
- Sour cream
- Ham
- Canned chopped green chiles

Ingredient Notes
This recipe calls for deli ham but you can substitute it with thick-sliced country-style ham.
You can use chives instead of green onions if you prefer.
Use a good quality loaf of crusty French bread. Cut off the top and hollow it out. Save the bread interior of the bread. Cut the bread into cubes and toast them with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper in a skillet over medium heat.
How To Make This Hot Ham and Cheese Dip
To prepare this Mississippi Sin Dip recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the ham into medium dice.
- Drain the green chiles.
- Slice the green onions thinly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dip ingredients. Stir well to incorporate everything fully.
- Hollow out the loaf of bread.
- Fill the hollowed-out bread with the cheese mixture.
- Wrap the bread bowl loosely in aluminum foil and place it on a baking tray.
- Bake for an hour.
- Unwrap and serve while still warm.
Recipe Variations
There are countless ways to change this dip to suit your taste. Here are a few to whet your appetite and creativity:
- Swap the ingredients. Use cooked bacon bits or sausage instead of ham. Substitute the green chiles for pickled jalapenos, or change the cheese to Gruyere or Smoked Gouda for a robust, smoky flavor.
- Spice things up. Sprinkle in a teaspoon garlic powder, a dash of smoked paprika, or a little white pepper. Add a teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and your favorite hot sauce.
- Use different bread. This dip is also great in sourdough or Italian bread.
- Forget the bread bowl. Use a casserole baking dish to heat and serve the dip. Or you keep it warm in a Crockpot slow cooker on low.
How To Serve Mississippi Sin Dip
The traditional way to serve this dip is inside a bread bowl with crackers, tortilla chips, chips, or toasted bread croutons. But you have lots of other options:
- Turn this dip into a sandwich spread and serve it between two buttered slices of toasted or grilled sourdough bread.
- Use it as a hearty filling for a baked potato.
- Hollow out and toast dinner rolls to make an individual serving.

This is a great easy starter for Mississippi Sin. Not strong at all. Next time I will spice it up quite a bit
adding more chilies and some habaneros finely chopped as well. Dill might also be a good addition.
One of the better dip recipes out there. You could also use the bread removed to make larger croutons and use them for dipping as well. Don’t waste the bread.
Karen
The filling was very good. I think I would skip putting it in the loaf of bread and serve it as a dip. The filling oozed out of the bread. Very messy.

Goodnite this is the best sin ever. Will add bacon pieces and not touch a thing else!

I don’t think so. This recipe is pretty easy to do.
Kae
I can’t wait to try this!!!
Carrie
This was amazingly delicious! Next time I’ll add a bit more green onion and might mix both Cheddar and PepperJack cheese. I love the creaminess with the crunch of the sourdough bread, yum!

Holy cow, this recipe was amazing. It turned out way better than expected (and I expected an extremely tasty sandwich). It turned out so well, and I can’t wait to make it again!

An hour seems like a really long time to cook an already baked loaf of bread! Did it get really browned on the bottom?
Stephanie
I thought it was a long time too, but the recipe was good as written, the bread does not brown in the sense that it burns, it becomes nice and crisp.
Jessica
Made this tonight for my boyfriend and his mom…. his mom demanded I make it again! Absolutely AMAZING!!! I wouldn’t change a thing, this recipe is perfect!!
Kathelynn
I hollow out the bottom and top…fill and cover.
To serve it I take the top off and fill top with Fritos and let it sit next to
the bottom. If I run out of Fritos I put the bread chunks in the top half for dipping….
Thought a little explaination might help..
Better nail down anything you don’t want dipped………enjoy!
Jackie
sounds yummy. could also be used as a dip for brad cubes.
Kimber
It says put the mix into the bottom. Are you hollowing out the bottom at all or does it just get layer on top of the bottom?
Looks great!
Stephanie
Yes, you hollow out the bottom, put the mix in. When I made mine I hollowed out both the top and the bottom.
ann_b
what did you do with the inside of the bread you removed?
Stephanie Manley
I don’t recall. You could turn it into bread crumbs. I bet what happened to this was two puppies were made happy by some bread.
Brenda Mueller
This sounds like the winning recipe to me, I will be making this one for sure. Good Job!
Fran
Oh yeah, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream and peppers. How can you go wrong? Looks delicious.
Wendy
Stop! You’re making me drool!

I drooled when I ate this.
