Mississippi Sin Dip

 Italian bread is filled with a spicy cream cheese-based dip that is baked into a bubbly and decadent appetizer which is known as Mississippi Sin.

Ingredients
1 (approx. 1 pound) round loaf of crusty bread, optional
1 (8 ounce) block of cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1-1/2 cups of sour cream
2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/3 cup of chopped ham or prosciutto
1/3 cup of sliced green onion
1 (4 ounce)can of green chilies, undrained
2 tablespoons of chopped pickled jalapenos
Couple dashes of Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. To serve in a bread bowl, cut the very top off of the bread and hollow out, leaving about a 1-inch shell and reserving the bread from both the top and the inside. Set the top aside and cut the inside bread into cubes or tear into chunks, if desired, to use for dipping, or reserve for another use.

Cream the cream cheese and sour cream together until well blended. Add all of the remaining ingredients and mix in well. Place enough aluminum foil to wrap around the bread on a baking sheet and pour the cheese mixture into the bread bowl, or transfer mixture into a baking dish. Return the top piece of bread on top and wrap the loaf completely in the foil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour. Sprinkle with green onion and chopped ham if you like. Serve hot!

Can also simply bake in a baking dish if desired. Serve with the reserved bread, an assortment of vegetables, crackers, tortilla chips or corn chips.
