This Mississippi Sin Dip is an easy game day appetizer made with cheese and ham mixed together and baked inside a loaf of bread until it is ooey gooey.

Take a look at all of the cheesy, carb-y goodness above and tell me you don’t just want to dive in with a spoon and go nuts. Mississippi Sin Dip has been around forever, it’s one of those classic appetizer that you’ve probably tried some party somewhere but you never knew what it was called. The first time I made it I was in college and I asked my mom for a recipe that I could take to a party. She gave me her recipe for Mississippi Sin dip. Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, ham, all stuffed in bread and baked until it was ooey gooey. It sounded perfect. I mixed everything up and took it to the party planning to warm it up when I got there. Having pretty much no experience cooking stuff I had put the cheese mixture in the fridge before going to the party and I had no idea how long it would take to warm all of that cold cheese. I think we pulled it out of the oven after about 15 minutes and ate it half cold, which was still delicious but not nearly as good as waiting until everything is melted and creamy :).
Now I’m older and wiser and when I make the dip ahead of time I always take it out of the fridge a few hours ahead of time and I know that if I’m baking it there I have to plan for it to bake for at least 30 minutes when I get there. Of course you can always heat it up before you head to a party. It stays warm for a pretty long time and it’s still delicious at room temperature.
Mississippi Sin Dip is a great appetizer for the holidays and perfect for football game days. It feeds a hungry crowd and serious, who doesn’t love cheese, ham, and bread all melted together?

So incredibly delicious!
Looks delish ladies! This is one of my favorite dips ever!! Shared! So nice meeting you both at Blended. Cheers, Erin
Thanks Erin! Blended was so much fun, can’t wait for next year! 🙂
This looks so good, making me hungry!! Is that the Pioneer Women’s dishes, love those!! Pinned!
They are the Pioneer Women’s measuring bowls, so cute!
Hi, just wondering if you could substitute the ham with another meat option. Thanks.
Sure, I would cook the meat before and drain any fat/grease from it before mixing it with the other ingredients.
going to make for this weekend what type of ham are you using deli, or cubed ?
It is thicker than deli ham. We used a few slices of a small pre-cooked quarter ham from Smithfield (http://www.smithfield.com/products/anytime-favorites/hickory-smoked-premium-quarter-boneless-sliced-ham) and diced them up into small pieces.
Simply fantastic recipe. I added some Tabasco sauce and sweet chilli sauce and it was delicious. Many thanks for sharing.
I make this for nearly every party we host or are invited to. It goes like lightening, and everybody just raves about it!! I don’t much care for bread so I bake mine in a regular baking dish instead. Thank you for sharing!
That’s great! I prefer no bread also. I mainly do it for the appearance. Crackers work but I like to keep it low carb so I use celery and cucumber.
can this be done in a crock pot ?
I have never tried it but I don’t see why not. I would just mix everything together and put it in the slow cooker on low and let it all melt together. Let me know how it works out I think it is a great idea!
I have leftover crab meat from dinner last night and have a party to go to today. Thought I would try that instead of the ham. Any thoughts???
Sorry I didn’t see this yesterday!! I hope you tried the crab it would be delicious!!
Tried this with lean cooked deli chicken sandwich meat and it tasted amazing. Great recipe and easy to make in a matter of minutes. Good job!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
My college roommates showed me this recipe 10 years ago in college! I now make this for a lot of holiday parties and social events. Everyone loves it! The bowl is always scraped clean by the end of the party. Thanks for sharing!
I know it’s great in a bread bowl. But can you put in a bowl? If so what size bowl.
I make it in a bowl sometimes too since I try to eat low carb. I would use an 8×8 casserole dish. You’ll want it to be something you can bake in the oven.
My family has been making something similar for years—sour cream, cream cheese, ham, shredded cheddar—-plus some diced green onions and a can of diced green chilies. It’s amazing!
I love the addition of green chiles!
It says hot sauce does that mean Tabasco or Franks. I think either one would work, but still would like to know which kind. Thank you
Either works. I usually use tabasco sauce but I have used Frank’s as well and it’s just as good 🙂
How long in advance can I make this? Thanks for your help
You can make the filling 2-3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator (don’t cut the bread and fill it until you are ready to use). Since the filling will be extra cold it will take longer to reheat. I suggest removing it from the fridge and letting it sit out on the counter until it has softened (at least an hour) and then filling the bread and baking. If you don’t have time to do that you’ll just need to bake it longer to ensure the center of the cheese is heated through after baking.
My guests love this! I made extra, baked in a dish, not stuffed in the bread. Does this freeze well (not in the bread) with good results?
Thanks!
I don’t freeze this recipe since it contains sour cream and cream cheese which in my opinion don’t reheat well (they can separate and get watery).
