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.

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:

  • Stuff inside an omelet.

How to Reheat
