This 5 minutes million dollar dip has mayonnaise, green onions, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits and slivers of almonds.

Serve it with some crackers or even make it fancy with a crostini.

Ingredients for 5 Minute Million Dollar Dip

With just a few simple ingredients, you can create make a dip that you won’t be able resist. If you want to substitute the mayonnaise, you can use Greek yogurt or even sour cream, but the mayonnaise is a key ingredient in bringing this dip together. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

  • 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 wonโ€™t mix as well with this dip, and the flavor isnโ€™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.

Quick Tips

Upgrade your 5-minute million-dollar dip with just a few quick and easy tips! There are ways to swap out ingredients or add additional ones to change this dip up every time you make it!

  • 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 garlic, homemade ranch, or Italian seasoning for an extra 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!
