Ingredients:
See the recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
- Mayonnaise – I love Hellman’s mayonnaise, but Miracle Whip or your favorite brand is fine!
- Cheddar Cheese – Sharp cheddar cheese goes perfect!
- Green Onions– Don’t leave this one out. Trust me!
- Real Bacon Bits – Just throw some bacon in the microwave and cut them up before adding to the dip.
- Almonds slivers – Slivered or slices are best but you can always cut up whole almonds, too.
How To Make Million Dollar Dip
- Combine: Combine all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix until fully combined.
- Put in the fridge: This delicious dip is best served chilled. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and enjoy with your favorite crackers. We like Ritz crackers.
Tips + Variations:
- You can make it ahead of time (a day or two) and allow it to sit in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it.
- You can substitute the mayonnaise with greek or regular yogurt for less fat.
- Add in a block of softened cream cheese for a more creamy dip and rich dip.
- Play around with different types of cheeses to create new cheesy dips!
- Top with blue cheese crumbles for a little more pizzazz.
- Here’s an easy appetizer version that uses this tasty dip for when the serving bowl is too far for everyone to reach.
- Though best known as a delicious cracker dip, feel free to try other popular dippers like tortilla chips, pork rinds, or the ever-classic potato chip.
How To Store
Make sure that you store this dip in the fridge until you’re ready to eat it. You will also need to store leftovers in an airtight container and keep it cool until you’re ready to eat it again. (which won’t be very long!)
FAQs
You can! If you have time to make it the night before, do so! It will save you in total time the day of the party or gathering and it gives time for the flavors to mesh well. Be sure to use an airtight container or cover it with plastic wrap.
Mayonnaise is the star of the dip! Sour cream might be what some dips use but for this one – it’s mayonnaise all the way.
Cayenne pepper is always a simple addition that can really add heat but not all of your guests may be able to handle it. Consider offering the cayenne pepper, black pepper, and garlic powder on the side.
As the story goes, this vintage recipe first appeared in Helen Corbitt’s Cookbook (by Helen Corbitt) as a cheese spread called “Almond-Bacon-Cheese Spread.” Nieman Marcus is credited with first serving it as a dip in its department store restaurant the Zodiac Room. By any name, there’s a good reason the original recipe has become one of today’s best classic party dip recipes!

Way to much mayo. I would start with 3/4 cup and add more if needed. Otherwise awesome dip.
I put it on tortillas and rolled them and put in fridge until cold then sliced them in 1 inch rounds and severed with salsa. Very good.
This isn’t a recipe! It’s a list of ingredients with no proportions or measurements. Absolutely ridiculous and a waste of my time looking at it. Very displeased.
Scroll down to the recipe card for the ingredients.
The recipe card doesn’t specify how many almonds to use.
Amy and Patricia here is the recipe I copied from above. You just have to scroll down to the recipe or select the “jump to recipe” tab. Anyway here it is with the measurements.
