Million Dollar Dip
Million Dollar Dip is the ultimate party appetizer for any occasion. A rich and creamy dip filled with crispy bacon, garlic, cheese and smoked almonds. It’s almost always the first thing to disappear from the appetizer table!
A complete menu of appetizers is perfect for a casual get together or game day party. We love making classics like Knorr Spinach Dip and Velveeta Cheese Dip. We also enjoy these new favorites Hawaiian Onion Dip and Bacon Deviled Eggs.
Million Dollar Dip ~ Easy Party Appetizer!
Dip could literally be it’s own food group at our house and we are always looking for an occasion to make some kind of dippy snack! This quick and easy recipe has all of our favorite flavors: bacon, cheese and garlic! Perfect for game day.
Ingredients Needed
Bacon ~ Smoky bacon makes everything better and it is so easy to cook bacon in the oven. No fuss, no mess and it turns out crispy every time.
Cream Cheese ~ I use full fat cream cheese in this dip and it should be softened to room temperature before making the dip.
Mayonnaise ~ Adds the best creamy texture to this dip, use real mayo, not Miracle Whip in this recipe.
Sour Cream ~ The sour cream will lighten up the texture of the dip and adds a bit of a tangy flavor.
Shredded Cheese ~ I’ve made this dip with sharp cheddar, medium cheddar, Colby- jack and pepper- jack, use your favorite.
Worcestershire Sauce ~ My go- to ingredient for adding flavor to just about everything!
Granulated Garlic ~ Nothing pairs better with cheese and bacon than garlic.
Salt & Pepper
Smoked Almonds ~ Any roasted or toasted nuts that you have on hand will work in this dip. I love the extra smokiness and crunch that the almonds add to it.
Chips, crackers or vegetables for serving.
