5 Minute Million Dollar Dip
Can I just say how much I love my readers and fans? I hope you know how much I appreciate all of your amazing comments and support in keeping this blog going. I especially love when readers send me messages and recipes that they want me to try. This recipe was sent to me from a reader telling me that I have to try it! With it being only 5 ingredients and taking 5 minutes to make, I couldn’t wait to make it!
This dip has mayonnaise, green onions, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits. If you are looking to substitute the mayonnaise you can use greek yogurt, or even sour cream, but the mayonnaise is a key ingredient in bringing this dip all together. I loved all of the ingredients in this dip and the slivered almonds were my favorite part! They added the perfect crunch to this dip. It is a MUST make dip for your next watch party or gathering. Everyone won’t be able to get enough of it! You will quickly see why it is called a Million Dollar Dip!
Ingredients for Million Dollar Dip:
- Green onions: Their mild taste and crunchy texture are perfect in this dip!
- Cheddar cheese: For the best results, use freshly shredded cheese. Shredded cheese in a bag won’t mix as well with this dip and the flavor isn’t as bright.
- Mayonnaise: Use your favorite brand since this is the base of the entire dip.
- Real bacon bits: Pre-cooked bacon works great and adds to the ease of prep for this already easy dip.
- Slivered almonds: These slivered almonds give the dip a nutty flavor without overwhelming each bite.
Let’s Make Some Dip:
- Combine ingredients: Add green onions, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, bacon bits, and slivered almonds to a small bowl. Mix until fully combined.
- Chill and enjoy: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve with your favorite crackers.

I have not tried to freeze this dip but it should be okay if done properly. Thanks so much for following along with me! XOXO
I made the dip this morning. I just tasted it and it is very salty. Is there anything I can add to take some of the salt out?
Low sodium bacon, can substitute 1/3 of the mayo for sour cream, it will give a lighter~brighter flavor and still get the mayo aspect.
Delicious dip and easy to make. 1/2 cup of bacon bits equaled 1/2 pound of bacon. I used 1 Cup of Mayo (with olive oil) and 1/2 cup Greek Plain Non-fat yogurt. Brought it to a gathering hosted by a former caterer from Spain. She loved it and asked for the recipe. Thanks!
Looks really good
What is the total serving size on this? I am trying to calculate Net Carbs per serving. Thanks!
The serving size is 10-12 people. Hope that helps! XOXO
I just made this for “Dip Day” at work tomorrow, and after I tasted it I kept out a little to have for dinner with zucchini chips (plain dehydrated zucchini slices) and cherry tomatoes. I think it is pretty paleo/keto also, if I’m not mistaken.
Anyways, I love it! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Hello. My favorite mayo to use is Miracle Whip because of the sweet taste. What mayo did you use or heard of others using?
I love the taste of miracle whip but mayo is always a classic too. I like mayo a little better but it is more of a preference of taste. It does make a difference. Hope that helps! XOXO
In my opinion, Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise. I wouldn’t use anything but “real” mayo in this recipe. My favorite brands of it are Hellman’s and Duke’s. Just my two cents…
Good Morning;
I am a huge Miracle Whip user, it gives recipes a much better taste, I have made this several times with miracle whip,it is a big hit,I made it for a Halloween party this year ,I doubled the recipe,there was maybe a half cup left.
Your recipes are simple and easy to make and have a great taste.
Has anyone tried to make this without the scallions?
I don’t have any almonds, so I thought about using pecans. What do you think? Also, would you toast them before putting them in to add too the crunch?
That sounds great! It will add a different texture and flavor but will taste great too. Let me know what you think! XOXO
When you make this million dollar dip, do you use the green and white part of the onion?
Just the green part of the onion.
It would be helpful to include this information in the recipe instructions.
Exactly Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise, I cut the top of the green onion off, and about 1/4 inch off the green part
I have made this dip several times do not freeze it it has mayonnaise and don’t freeze it you will ruin it also when you use the green onions use the white part as well as the green part cut the top of the white part off and cut probably about an inch of the green part I dice mine up really fine so if you’re not using the white part you’re making a big mistake
I made this today (Christmas Day) to take for dinner at my cousins house. I was looking for something quick and easy. The reviews said it was great but I was doubtful – it looked kind of odd but I had all the ingredients so I gave it a go. OMG – Everyone loved it! The 14 year old teenager ate almost the whole bole! She loved it and everyone else did. This is definitely a keeper. I only have one complaint – when I got home and went to check the recipe to put in my recipe file I couldn’t find it – I couldn’t find it under appetizers – or did I just miss it? Either way, it’s a 5 star keeper for me!
This dip is so yummy! I had the original recipe at a friend’s house. Today I made it myself but changed the almonds to water chestnuts sliced into sticks( my daughter has a nut allergy). The result was excellent! Still has a crunch from the water chestnuts. We all loved it and so easy to make.
Hi Ellen!
Thanks for the comments and feedback. I am so happy that you loved the dip. It is one of my favorites. I am glad that you were able to make a substitution that fits your daughters needs. Thanks for following along! xoxo
Your video shows sliced almonds, not slivered. Which do you use?
I like to use slivered almonds. That is best for this recipe! Enjoy! XOXO
any option to substitute for almonds, if i need to be nut-free?
You are welcome to leave them out for this recipe. Hope that helps! XOXO
Someone used water chestnuts with good results
Would appreciate how many this 5 minute million $ dip serves?
This dip will serve about 10-12 people depending on how much dip they each take. Hope that helps! You will love this Million Dollar Dip! XOXO
What are the nutritional facts on this dish? I love it!
I like to use myfitnesspal.com or skinnytaste.com for any nutritional information. Hope that helps answer your questions.
How many servings in this? Can you add nutrition info? Thanks!
There are about 8 to 10 servings but will feed a medium to larger crowd especially if there are other appetizers there.
I like to use myfitnesspal.com or skinny taste.com for any nutritional information. Hope that helps you find what you are looking for. XOXO
This was so good, everyone wanted to skip the main course and just eat this.
Is okay to leave the dip sit out when serving it?
Yes! Totally. You can leave it out over an ice if you would like too. It is great serving at parties! Enjoy! XOXO
Hey Alyssa,
Would it be okay to substitute real cooked crumbled bacon for the bacon bits?
Yes, that sounds great! Let me know how you like it! XOXO
When I made this million-dollar dip I used real Applewood smoked bacon I cooked it in the oven till it was nice and crisp but not too crisp I let it cool and then I dice up real small excellent dip
Hey Alyssa,
Do you think it would be okay to use real cooked bacon? Like crumbled?
Yes, that is even better! Great idea! Let me know how you like it! Thanks for following along with me! XOXO
Awesome, I’ll try it out and let you know. Thank you so much. You’re saving my life tomorrow.
Love this dip….positively addicting! I made mine with 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sour cream and chopped up real bacon. Definitely make it the night before if you can to allow flavors to meld.
What kind of chips or crackers would you suggest?
I love just a good salty chip but really this dip goes well with any kind of chip, crackers or even bread slices. It is that versatile!
Hello Alyssa,
Can I substitute turkey sausage crumbles instead of the bacon bits?
Yes, that sounds great!
Can you use yogurt or sour cream in place of mayo ? I hate mayo.
Yes, that will work.
Hellmans or miracle whip?
I like Hillmans for this recipe but miracle whip will work great too!
So ADDICTING! I like to serve it to myself….with a spoon.
Every time I take it somewhere I am asked for the recipe.
Thank you thank you for this delicious, easy recipe that uses simple ingredients that I always have on hand.
haha! You are awesome! I am so happy that you love it so much! Thank you so much for sharing!
Do you use the bacon bits in the jar?
I like to use fresh bacon and chop it up. If you like the taste and flavor from the bacon bits that is great too!
I used the white part of the onion. Will this be ok?
Yes, that will still be okay! Hoe did you like it?
I made this today for a birthday party tomorrow. I used Mayo made from Olive oil and cut with some sour cream. I’m hoping the flavors blend overnight, when I first sampled it was really salty with a heavy Mayo taste. Any idea on how to dilute; I’m lenient in bringing this tomorrow.
Hi Alyssa, put one half teaspoon cayenne pepper in your million dollar dip and taste the amazing WOW in mouth! Deliciously amazing.
Could this be made into a cheese ball?
Yes! That is a great idea!! Let me know how it turns out.
I love any dip with cheese, bacon and green onions! Yum, if I calculate correctly off the top of my head I think this would be about 4 cups dip divided by 12 people equals about 5 TBSP or ⅓ c dip per person. That should be plenty when serving with other apps/ meal etc? I’m thinking tailgating!! Thanks Katie! I love the recipe.
Hi I need enough dip for a crowd of 60. Just quadruple the recipe?
Yes, I would quadruple the recipe. You can even make a few different dips so you are not making just one big one if you need to. That sounds like a great party though!
How much does this make? I am hosting a party for around 150 people and need to know how many times would I need to make it for that quantity. I will be serving this with other appetizer foods too.
I actually wouldn’t make it too big if you are making other appetizers. This will feed about 10 to 15 people munching on it throughout one night. You can triple it or quadruple it and have enough. Not everyone will eat it and those that do won’t make it into a meal, especially if you have other appetizers going on.
This sounds delicious and so simple to make; however, the calories per serving sounds very high. Is that accurate…3730 per serving?
It was not accurate or correct. I just fixed it for you. Thank you for letting me know.
This recipe is similar to one I make but we use Gouda cheese and spread it on French bread and stick in the oven under broiler for a few minutes until a golden bubbly! My family goes NUTS for it!
How do you think it would taste if I added a cup of shredded chicken to this recipe?
That sounds delicious! Let me know how you like it!
Hi I’m not a huge fan of mayo… do you think cream cheese mixed with some sour cream would be good?
You are welcome to try that in place of mayo. Let me know how you like it.
Made this for work and e everyone loved it just as it was.
Delicious and super simple and fast to make. I’ve made it multiple of times and my family and friends request it for every gathering!
This recipe was super easy! I cooked a pack of bacon in the skillet and added a little bit of the bacon grease to the dip.
As a substitute for the Mayo. You can use mashed potato and sweet potato. This is something that is a take on a Greek Skordilla dip. Look it up.
This is amazing and simple, I have made it 3 times and everyone has loved it! Several have asked for the recipe!
One of our Bunco Gals brought this dip to our Bunco game last night. It was a BIG HIT with all players. There was not one bite left !! #1 in our group!!
Miracle Whip is NOT MAYO! It is a Salad Dressing . Hellmans is Mayo — mayonaise 2 DIFFERENT things. Different ingredients as well as flavor.
I’m going to try this and add a capful or two of liquid smoke – yum!
