A Reader’s Review

“Simple to make! Plus it was a huge hit! Can’t ask for anything more than that!” -BonBon

Why This Million Dollar Dip Beats the Rest!

  • Better Crunch: My Million Dollar Dip uses freshly shredded cheddar and slivered almonds for the perfect mix of creamy and crunchy.
  • Flavor That Gets Better: This dip’s flavor gets better as it chills, so you can make it ahead and it’ll taste even better the next day!
  • Simplicity Without Sacrifice: My Neiman Marcus Dip comes together in minutes and has the perfect balance of rich, salty, and savory flavors.

Million Dollar Dip Ingredients

Overhead shot of labeled ingredients.
  • Almonds: Toast your almonds before for maximum nutty flavor.
  • Cheese: Use freshly shredded cheddar for the best taste and texture. You can also use aged Gouda or Gruyere.
  • Flavor Boosts: Add extra flavor with 1 Tablespoon ranch seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, or a few dashes of hot sauce!
  • Mayonnaise: You can substitute mayo for sour cream, cream cheese, or Greek yogurt. I have found that mayonnaise works best.

    Loved by all at football watch party. Strong flavor with extra sharp cheddar. I added sweet corn and cayenne to taste. Multiple requests for recipe. Never would have thought to add slivered almonds, but yes, a good add.

  2. 4 stars
    I would definitely make this again. It’s pretty tasty and easy to make. I did shred the block of cheese and cook up the bacon. It was good on wheat thins, but any cracker or even celery would work.

    1. 5 stars
      This is an old school recipe that is still popular today, I brought it to a potluck and the younger ppl loved it! Didn’t have to persuade us seniors, we have always loved it!

  3. I grew up on this but in a different way: This is amazing spread on some lightly toasted bread and then tossed under the broiler until it just starts to brown.

  4. 5 stars
    So good. I’ve made this for a games night we’re having tomorrow. I thought I’d let the flavours come together overnight. The only thing I did different is that I also added fresh lime juice and pepper. It’s really really good. Looking forward to hearing what our friends think. My husband wants to eat the whole bowl right now lol.

  5. 5 stars
    Made this for a ladies event and as soon as they tasted it, everyone wanted the recipe! So simple and delicious!

  6. I’ve made it and everyone loved it. But I’m not a fan of mayo can I use sour cream or yogurt instead??

  7. Made it today, followed all measurements of ingredients…all I could taste was onion and bacon, made me nauseous…chilled for about 3 hours
