Million Dollar Dip

Million Dollar Dip is a glorious combination of a few simple and easy to find ingredients that magically combine into a heavenly amalgamation of flavors. It's one of those party favorites that have been rotating on game day and holiday appetizer menus for eons. Serve it with crackers or crudité and watch it disappear.

Easy Million Dollar Dip Recipe

My family really gravitates to appetizers like this million dollar dip. In fact, some days we'd rather dip our dinner than have a full meal. In particular on weekends when our days are more casual and less rushed. Some of our favorite dips like my Three Cheesesteak Dip and Chicken Enchilada dips are very much like a complete meal themselves. This particular dip is a no-cook dip so, it's particularly convenient for making in advance when entertaining as it becomes even more robust in flavor as it chills.

How to Make the Best Million Dollar Dip Recipe

This million dollar dip is no different from others in that it gets better when made in advance so the flavors can marry. You can make it one day ahead of time and pop it into the refrigerator to chill until you're ready to serve it. You may have also heard this vintage dip called Neiman Marcus Dip or ABC Dip referring to the almond, bacon and cheese combo. Regardless of the name, my spin combines chive and onion cream cheese with mayonnaise, bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, green onions and toasted almonds all combined with simple seasonings to give it a more complex flavor.

• Ingredients you'll need to make this recipe for easy Million Dollar Dip: Toasted slivered almonds, mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip) chive and onion cream cheese, garlic powder or granulated garlic, lemon pepper, Worcestershire sauce, cooked and chopped or crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions and crackers, vegetables or chips for dipping.
• While you could use precooked bacon for a time saver, I highly recommend you go the extra mile and make your own for a more quality result.
• This homemade million dollar dip easily doubles if you're feeding a crowd.
• Serve this dip with crackers and fresh vegetables such as celery, carrots or cucumber.
• You can also use potato chips, tortilla chips, pita chips or crostini for dipping.
