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.

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 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
With just a few simple ingredients you can create some major deliciousness!
- 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.
How to Make Million Dollar Dip
This dip honestly tastes so good, your friends and family will think it took a lot more effort to put together. Little do they know it only takes 2 quick steps to create!
- Mix Together 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.
Million Dollar Dip Quick Tips
Upgrade your dip with just a few quick and easy tips!
- Cheese: Freshly shredded cheddar works best in this recipe. Packaged cheese typically lacks the flavor and texture that fresh cheese has. You can substitute cheddar for aged Gouda or Gruyere.
- Mayonnaise: You can substitute mayo for sour cream or Greek yogurt, but I have found that mayonnaise works best to achieve a perfectly creamy texture.
- Almonds: You can chop your almonds into smaller pieces for bite-sized texture.
- Flavor Additions: Add in garlic, homemade ranch or Italian seasoning for an extra burst of flavor in your dip!
What to Serve With 5 Minute Million Dollar Dip
I love using bigger crackers like Ritz for this dip, but it also tastes amazing with tortilla chips and pretzels! Kettle chips are also a great pairing with their thicker texture and bite. You can make some of my quick and easy air fryer potato chips for a snack match made in heaven!
Storing Million Dollar Dip
Storing dips is just as easy as making them. I love having dips on hand for when I get late night munchies because you can eat them straight out of the fridge! Your dip will stay good for up to 4 days in an airtight container.

A Reader’s Review
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!!
Thanks for the great recipe! Looking forward to making it!
I subbed cream cheese for the mayo and it was really good.
I love this dip but feel like 5 green onions was too much. Next time using 2 or 3. I used leftover extra crispy bacon from breakfast which is always the way to go. Added a few dashes of Louisiana Hot Sauce. I think some diced jalapeños would be a great addition to this. Will make this again and again!
Who on earth ever has leftover bacon?? 😉
Looks really delicious!!! (just an fyi – it’s addictive, not addicting – addict is a noun rather than a verb.)
Actually, addict can be a verb and addicting can act as the participle adjective of the verb “to addict”, just as charming and insulting are the participle adjectives of the verbs to charm and to insult. I don’t think anyone would say that you can’t describe a person as charming or a statement as insulting, and similarly it is OK to describe a recipe as addicting.
There’s no seasoning of any kind?
I just made it so now I have to wait, lol. I am so looking forward to serving this while watching the game tomorrow. Thanks so much!
This dip looks yummy! I need to make it nut-free though, due to allergies. Do you have a suggestion of a substitute for the almonds or would you just omit them?
I would just omit them. 🙂
I have the same….allergy issues….I was thinking about using unsalted sunflower seeds….Just a thought I had
How about diced celery??
I used diced water chestnuts. It was really good.
I think some crunch is important in a dip. I would and will when i make it, substitute chopped water chestnuts fir the nuts 🙂
Try sunflower seeds
Can you have sunflower seeds? I would consider them if so…..
Sub with jicama,, water chestnuts or even bamboo shoots
I used slivered water chestnuts instead of the almonds, mmmm!
This called for way too much onion. It was overpowering.
I made this dip for my Women’s group. It was very old, however, the amount of onions was overpowering! I would definitely cut it down to two or three, five was way too much.
***** Correction******
The dip was very good.
We don’t eat bacon. Any substitute?
An imitation bacon usually prepared from smoked, chopped and reformed turkey and commonly marketed as a low-fat alternative to bacon. Turkey bacon can be used as a substitute for bacon too. Hope that helps!!
Yes, we don’t eat pork so I made my own bacon bits with turkey bacon (Costco sells a smoked turkey bacon that is great and that tyoe can be found elsewhere too). I carefully cooked up the bacon to get as crispy a texture as possible, then tore it into small pices when cool and gave it a few blitzes in the food processor to get the right bit-sized little pieces. Workes great…just be sure to not overcook or undercook the turkey bacon: overcooking will make it tough and very unpleasan, even bittert; undercooking isn’t a deal-breaker but that is not such a great texture when it is too soft, and harder to work with in food processor.
Could this be made with plain greek yogurt?
yes! I used plain greek yogurt, just a touch of mayo, and it was fab.
When first made this tasted flat & salty! After chilling overnight, it was Delicious! Put it out for a ball game & it went FIRST & FAST! Will definitely be making it again!!
This sounds amazing! Wonder what half mayo half sour cream would be like in it? Maybe some finely chopped jalapeño for a little kick? Am going to try this for sure.
This looks delish! Can’t wait to try it! Was wondering if you used regular mayo or MW?
The recipe says “mayonnaise” not miracle whip. Those are two entirely different condiments.
This looks so delicious. Thanks for all the great recipes.
hey girl this looks so yummy! I love all kinds of dips!
so how much does this dip create. I am going to our pastors small wedding reception at the church and am bringing a cheese ball with crackers might have to make this along with it as another dish. .
Judging from the amount of ingredients, I’d estimate this recipe makes about 2 cups of dip.
Can you use the dip with tortilla chips
Oh yes!!
Sure I’m gonna try one now! This ones easy to make and ingredients are accessible!
