Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer (optional, but helpful)
  • Microwave-safe casserole dish (glass preferred)
  • Knife
  • Oven
  • Aluminum foil

Ingredients

  • 16 oz sour cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup chopped ham (Hormel canned smoked ham recommended)
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp hot sauce
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 16 oz French bread loaf

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ham, green onion, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a large microwave-safe glass casserole dish. Heat it in the microwave for about 7 minutes, pausing halfway through to stir.
  3. Cut the French bread into bite-sized pieces for appetizers.
  4. Spoon the Mississippi Sin dip onto the sliced bread.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bread topped with dip in the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Tips for Success

  • Keep an eye on the bread while it’s in the oven to prevent it from burning.
  • If you’re preparing this dish for a larger group, consider doubling the recipe.
