Get ready for a flavor explosion!A SAVORY, CREAMY APPETIZER DIPI have zero idea how this got its name other than it was probably invented by someone in Mississippi and they were trying to catch up with a catchy name. Ive been creating recipes a long time and crazy, funky names always make folks want to make (or at least look at) a recipe ha! Mississippi Sin Dip has become one of my go-to favorite party dips. Its creamy, cheesy, and loaded with savory flavor and the fact that its served in a French bread loaf bread bowl makes it the perfect pick. Its so good, I often want to make a second loaf just for myself!FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:Why is Mississippi Sin Dip named that? Mississippi seems to get all the delicious recipes named after it. I mean, hello Mississippi Pot Roast and all of its lovely variations and Mississippi Mud Cakes and more. It seems to be that any Southern kind of recipe just gets named Mississippi something. The sin part of the name isnt related to a specific event or anything bad, its more of a playful expression about how decadent or comforting something. This dish especially checks those boxes with the ham, shredded cheese, and sour cream. What to serve with this Mississippi Sin Dip? You can serve this with crackers, veggies, or chips (and of course some of the bread it is in) the sky is the limit since so many dippers work with this. Can I make this ahead of time? You could make this ahead of time and bake it before your guests arrive. Reheat as necessary. Can I make this in a baking dish instead of the bread bowl? You can bake this in the oven without the bread bowl. You can use an 88 or 99-inch baking dish. Can I make this in a Crock Pot? You can cook this in a slow cooker on low for 1-2 hours before your guests arrive (as long as the bread loaf fits). Can this be served cold? I dont see why not. It could be a creamy cold dip if youd like. What other bread options can I try? You can use any bread of your choice for this. Italian or French are my favorites. What can I use instead of cubed ham? You could substitute the ham for bacon, crab meat, or finely shredded chicken. How to store leftovers? This dip will be good in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat the dip in the microwave or oven. The bread may get a bit soft in the microwave.
