Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (16 oz) loaf French bread (unsliced)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
- Prepare Bread: Cut the top off the French bread loaf and carefully hollow out the center, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell around the sides and bottom to hold the dip.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, garlic powder, black pepper, and crumbled bacon if using. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Fill Bread: Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed bread loaf, filling it evenly and pressing slightly to pack the dip inside.
- Wrap and Bake: Place the filled loaf on a baking sheet and loosely wrap it with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the dip is hot and bubbly.
- Uncover and Toast: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to lightly brown and toast the top of the dip for a delicious crust.
- Serve: Serve the Mississippi Sin Dip warm with the bread pieces you removed from the loaf, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Add chopped ham or jalapeños for extra flavor variation.
- To make ahead, prepare the dip and fill the loaf, then refrigerate until ready to bake.
- For extra cheesiness, sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top before the final bake.
