Mississippi Sin Dip!!!

If you need something wonderful for game day, card night, movie night or whatever the occasion, this "Mississippi Sin Dip" is a must try!!!   This stuff is delicious!!!  

I am not sure where the name came from, but I am pretty sure it's because it's sinfully yummy!!! 

This is great for parties, because you can prep it beforehand and then bake it right before your guests arrive!!!  

Here is what you will need:

1 (8oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1  1/2 cups sour cream

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs. Frank's or Texas Pete wing sauce
2 cups sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup diced deli ham
1 round bread loaf
3-4 green onions, sliced, including the green tops
assorted crackers, tortilla chips, or Frito scoops for dipping

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until it's smooth and fluffy.  Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and mix well.  Stir in the cheddar cheese and ham.

With a serrated knife hollow out the bread, creating a bowl to hold the dip.  Don't make the shell too thin so it's substantial enough.   I like to use King's Hawaiin Bread, but you could use any thick, round or oval shaped bread you like.  French bread works well also.  Save the chunks of bread you cut out to use dipping!  

Place the bread bowl on a baking sheet.  Fill the bread bowl with the dip mixture!  Wrap it in aluminum foil and place in the oven for 40 minutes.  Remove the foil and place back in the oven for about 5 - 10 minutes!!  Be careful to not let the bread get too dark. 

Remove from the oven and sprinkle the top with the green onions!!! Place the bread chunks around the dip bowl to use for dipping along with crackers and chips!!!  This always disappears fast!  Enjoy!
