Make the famous Neiman Marcus Dip, also known as Million Dollar Dip. This easy, no-bake appetizer combines sharp cheddar, crispy bacon, and crunchy almonds in a creamy base, perfect for any party.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crumbled cooked bacon
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Crackers, chips, or vegetables for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. You can use a hand mixer for the best texture, but a sturdy spoon works too.
  2. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, toasted sliced almonds, and chopped green onions. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix again to combine the seasonings throughout the dip.
  4. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Chill the Neiman Marcus Dip in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. Chilling allows the flavors to blend completely.
  5. Before serving, transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with a few extra bacon crumbles or almonds if desired.
  6. Serve your crowd-pleasing dip cold with your favorite crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor; spread them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring often until fragrant.
  • You can prepare this dip a day ahead of your party, which makes entertaining simpler.
  • For a tangier flavor, substitute half of the mayonnaise with sour cream.
  • If you are serving a large crowd, double the recipe easily.
