Mississippi Sin Ham Sliders

Mississippi Sin Ham Sliders are the ultimate comfort-food sliders, inspired by the classic Mississippi Sin dip and transformed into a handheld, baked sandwich that’s perfect for sharing.

This recipe takes everything people love about cheesy ham appetizers and elevates it with layers of smoky bacon, rich cream cheese, sharp cheddar, and just the right amount of seasoning.

The creamy filling is what truly sets these sliders apart—it’s smooth, savory, and packed with flavor from scallions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and onion powder.

Thinly sliced ham ensures every bite is tender and evenly layered, allowing the cheese mixture to melt beautifully throughout the slider.

Baking the sliders covered first keeps everything moist and melty, while uncovering them at the end creates lightly golden tops that add texture and visual appeal.

These sliders are ideal for game day spreads, holiday parties, potlucks, and family get-togethers because they can be assembled ahead and baked just before serving.

The pull-apart rolls soak up the buttery topping and the creamy filling, making each slider soft on the inside with just a hint of crispness on top.

Because the recipe makes a large batch, it’s perfect for feeding a crowd without requiring complicated prep or individual assembly.

You can easily customize the heat level with your favorite hot sauce, making the sliders mild or spicy depending on your preference.

Whether served as an appetizer, party snack, or casual dinner, Mississippi Sin Ham Sliders are rich, satisfying, and always a guaranteed hit.
