Looking for an easy dip recipe? This is it! This is definitely not one of my healthy recipes. It has a lot of our favorite indulgences! You can serve it for any of your favorite gatherings or holidays.
What is Million Dollar Dip
This dip has also been called Nieman Marcus Cheese Dip. Bacon and cheddar are popular ingredients among dip recipes. The addition of slivered almonds in this recipe is what makes it different from other dips.
Helen Corbitt worked for Nieman Marcus Zodiac restaurant years ago and later published a cookbook with a recipe similar to what you see here. The recipe used more mayo than I like, but if you love a lot of mayo flavor, feel free to add more!
It gets it’s million-dollar name because everyone loves it. It’s loaded with lots and lots of crunchy bacon (8 slices) and cheese. The combo of the two is astounding, yet simple.
How to Make the Bacon Pieces
I like to use real uncured, nitrate-free bacon in the recipe instead of something like Bacos. You will want to cook and crumble the bacon before you make the dip. I use my Air Fryer Bacon recipe to do this.
Toasted Almonds
Toasting the almonds is optional. I prefer this because it intensifies the flavor of the almonds.
