5 Minute Million Dollar Dip Recipe

I LOVE dip recipes, so when a reader sent me this recipe telling me that I have to try it, you bet that I did. With it being only 5 ingredients and taking 5 minutes to put together, I couldn’t wait to make it! And once I did, it did not disappoint.

This 5 minutes million dollar dip has mayonnaise, green onions, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits and slivers of almonds. I loved all of the ingredients in this dip, and the slivered almonds were my favorite part! They added the perfect crunch.  It is a MUST make for your next watch party or gathering. 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 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.

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!

Storing Million Dollar Dip

Storing dips is just as easy as making them. I love making dips ahead of time for parties or get-togethers and this one stores so well in the fridge. n fact, it might even taste better on day 2!

Make Ahead of Time: You can make this ahead of time and store it in your fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Just give it a good stir and sprinkle it with some additional toppings to make it fresh.

  3. 5 stars
    Love the recipe. Made the hot of out tailgating. Everyone loves this dip and ask for it when we get together ( before COVID). Thanks for a great recipe

  4. This dip is so good. Another version is add pecan pieces instead of almonds and spread out on a plate and top with a pepper jelly you like. Can omit bacon or not. These are both really great.

    1. This is better made and served rather than frozen. I would suggest making it ahead of time if needed but not freezing it.

  5. 5 stars
    I love the way this turned out- I made this for a party, so I doubled the recipe. I substituted the slivered almonds with a 1/2 cup ranch dressing ( incase anyone had nut allergies ) and it was delicious! Easy and delicious recipe, thanks! 🙂

  8. My neighbor has been making this for years. She spreads it on little rye breads on a cookie sheet, and heats it under the broiler for just a few minutes. We all love it. (she does not add almonds)

  9. Miracle Whip is NOT MAYO! It is a Salad Dressing . Hellmans is Mayo — mayonaise 2 DIFFERENT things. Different ingredients as well as flavor.
