Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Bread Bowl

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Use a serrated bread knife to cut a large, hollowed-out bowl from the center of the French loaf, leaving enough bread on the bottom and sides to hold the dip.

2. Make the Dip Mixture

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine:
   • Sour cream
   • Cream cheese (softened)
2. Stir the mixture until smooth, then add:
   • Hot sauce
   • Worcestershire sauce
   • Garlic powder
   • Onion powder
3. Fold in:
   • Grated cheddar cheese
   • Diced ham

3. Assemble the Dip

1. Spoon the prepared dip mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl, spreading it evenly.
2. Wrap the entire bread bowl in aluminum foil.

4. Bake

1. Place the wrapped bread bowl on a baking sheet.
2. Bake for 35 minutes.
3. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

5. Garnish and Serve

1. Remove the dip from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
2. Serve warm with crackers, fresh bread slices, or veggies for dipping.

Tips for Perfect Mississippi Sin Dip

• Use High-Quality Cheese: Freshly grated cheddar melts better and provides a richer flavor.
• Warm the Cream Cheese: Let your cream cheese soften to room temperature for easier mixing.
• Prevent Burning: Wrapping the bread bowl in foil ensures even baking and prevents over-browning.
• Customize the Spice: Add more hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne for extra heat.

Creative Variations

1. Add Bacon

• Fry and crumble 4–6 slices of bacon, then mix them into the dip or sprinkle on top for extra smoky flavor.

2. Make It Vegetarian

• Swap ham for roasted veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach.

3. Use a Sourdough Bowl

• Replace the French bread with sourdough for a tangy twist.

4. Extra Cheese Lovers

• Add a layer of shredded mozzarella or Parmesan on top before baking.

5. Gluten-Free Option

• Skip the bread bowl and serve the dip in a baking dish alongside gluten-free crackers or veggies.
