Ingredients for Million Dollar Dip:

4 thick-cut bacon slices, chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (7 1/2-oz.) pkg. chive-and-onion cream cheese, at room temperature
8 oz. extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions

How to Make Million Dollar Dip:

Step 1: Cook the bacon

Heat the chopped bacon in a large pan over medium heat until it is crisp and golden brown. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Cut the bacon from the skillet and place it on a flat plate of paper towels to get rid of any extra grease.

Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Base

Put the mayo chive and onion cream cheese into a mixing bowl. Mix them.

Step 3: Add the Cheesy Goodness

Now, it’s time to add the star of the show—the shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese.
Mix it into the creamy base until it’s evenly distributed. The cheese will give your dip that irresistible, cheesy flavor.

Step 4: Toss in the Crunch

Sprinkle in the toasted, slivered almonds. These will add a delightful crunch to your million-dollar dip.

Step 5: Add the Bacon Bliss

Crumble the crispy bacon you cooked earlier and add it to the mixture. The smoky bacon flavor will take this dip to the next level.

Step 6: Finish with Scallions

Finally, add the thinly sliced scallions. They’ll provide a fresh and slightly oniony kick to balance the richness of the dip.

Step 7: Chill and serve

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate your Million Dollar Dip for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together.
Serve it up with your favorite dippers, like chips, crackers, or veggie sticks.
