5 Million Dollar Dip is only 5 ingredients and they don’t call it million dollar dip for nothing! It is so deliciously addicting and will be the biggest hit wherever it goes!
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 for our football party!
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 football 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!

Hi Alyssa. I can wait to make this dip!! Love Dips. One ?, can we freeze? Read all comments and the dip was always gone to fast. Thanx
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
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.
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
Would appreciate how many this 5 minute million $ dip serves?

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
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.
