I love dip recipes, so when a reader sent me this recipe and told me I had to try it, you bet I did. It’s only 5 ingredients, takes 5 minutes to put together, and I can’t wait to make it! Once I did, it didn’t disappoint.
This 5-minute million-dollar dip has mayonnaise, scallions, cheddar cheese, bacon bits and almond slices. I love all the ingredients in this dip, the sliced almonds are my favorite part! They add the perfect crunch. This is a must have for your next viewing party or gathering. Serve with some crackers or even crostini.
Ingredients for the 5 Minute Million Dollar Dip
With just a few simple ingredients, you can create an irresistible dip. If you want to substitute mayonnaise, you can use Greek yogurt or even sour cream, but mayonnaise is the key ingredient that holds this dip together. Check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
- onion: Their mild flavor and crunchy texture are perfect for this dip!
- Cheddar cheese: For best results, use freshly shredded cheese. Bags of shredded cheese won’t mix well with this dip, and the flavors won’t be as bright.
- mayonnaise: Use your favorite brand, as this is the base of the entire dip.
- real bacon chunks: Precooked bacon works great and makes prepping this already easy dip easier.
- almond slices: These thinly sliced almonds give the dip a nutty flavor without overpowering each bite.

quick tips
Upgrade your 5-minute million dollar investment with just a few quick and easy tips! There are so many ways to swap out ingredients or add extras to vary the dip every time you make it!
- cheese: Freshly shredded cheddar cheese works best in this recipe. Packaged cheese often lacks the flavor and texture that fresh cheese has. You can substitute cheddar cheese for aged Gouda or Gruyere.
- mayonnaise: You can substitute mayonnaise for sour cream or Greek yogurt, but I find that mayonnaise works best for that perfect creamy texture.
- almond: You can chop almonds into small pieces for bite-sized texture.
- Flavoring: Add garlic, homemade ranch, or Italian seasoning to make your dip even more delicious!
What to Serve with the 5 Minute Million Dollar Dip
I like to use larger crackers like the Ritz for dipping, but it also tastes great with nachos and pretzels. Kettle chips are also a great accompaniment, as they have a thicker texture and better texture. You can make some of my Quick and Easy Air Fryer Chips for a heavenly snack!
Storing the Million Dollar Dip
Storing dip is as easy as making it. I like to make dips ahead of time for parties or get-togethers, and this one stores really well in the freezer. In fact, it might even taste better on day 2!
Make it ahead of time: You can make this ahead of time and keep it in the fridge sealed container Up to 4 days. Give it a good stir and sprinkle with some extra toppings to make it fresh.
