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
- 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.

If you love dips that can be ready in a hot minute without actually ever breaking a sweat, try my Poolside Dip, BLT Dip, and Jalapeno Popper Dip.
I made this for a football event…there was so much food there…but this was one that everyone commented on…they couldn’t figure out the crunch…I noticed on the video that sliced almonds were used…but I used the slivered as the recipe requested…I thought the dip was a bit on the salty side…but no one else thought so…its also delicious warmed up …but I noticed it developed a pool of grease…this made a beautiful presentation…
This looks really good.
Would either Betty Crocker’s Bac-Os or Oscar Mayer’s turkey bacon be just as good in this good in this?
Yes…turkey bacon works great. See further up where I replied to someone with the same question for my tip on making turkey baco-bits

I liked it cold…but the next day I heated some up and thought it was more like a Two Million Dollar Dip!! To me, it tastes way better heated up!
Made this but omitted the almond slivers and green onions due to not having any. I also did not chill for 2 hours. Tried it 1st with sour cream using small amt of ingredients but it wasn’t good. Then tried it with the mayo, what a big difference, I doubled the recipe. It was a hit, had none left.
I made this as a Christmas Eve appetizer and it was a huge hit. We had the leftovers on toast the next day and it was awesome that way too. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for a great recipe.
Could chopped pecans be used instead of slivered almonds?
This was ok, not great. I ended up adding a little salt and pepper and then some garlic powder. I think the mayo is the problem. I’ll probably use cream cheese if I try it again.
I made it last night, it was good but too salty. I think it was the mayo I used, it had 125mg of sodium in it. Can I fix this by adding some sour cream or cream cheese? Or should I toss it and start over?
I made this for a party but added a few extra ingredients. Chopped Jalapeños, corn and diced water chestnuts. It went so fast!!!! Made it again as a filling for tea sandwiches (because it’s phenomenal on bread too?) for a girls outing, it was the first thing to be completely consumed!!!!
Seems best when allowed to be refrigerated overnight.
The best!!!!
I’ve made this for years – I only use Hellman’s mayo and real crumbled bacon! It’s great as a cold dip but also makes the most AMAZING stuffed mushrooms! Has an entirely different taste warmed up. We also add it to scrambled eggs!! So good!!!!!
Would this be a good dish to warm up or best served cold?
I like it served cold.
This is just how I roll but this is AMAZING as a spread on a hot grilled chicken sandwich or a burger……
Omg. Yessss!!!!!
It’s great in a baked potato, too!
This looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it.
I’m going to make this dip for an upcoming football game and I’m going t add some garlic salt and some jalepenos, for kick.
Garlic, yes. Salt, NO!!! This is already so salty!!
I make this all the time. I use fewer onions and I don’t use almonds. It’s so quick to put together and so yummy!!
