Million Dollar Dip Tips:

  • Cheese – We recommend shredding your own cheese from hunk cheese. Pre-shredded cheese doesn’t blend as well and it has added ingredients that are not necessary.
  • Mayonnaise – This dip is best mixed with mayonnaise with the other ingredients. But if you would like a lighter version, try mixing with Greek yogurt or sour cream. We haven’t tried it with cream cheese, but I am sure it would work.
  • Toasted Almonds – We used slivered in this recipe, but feel free to chop them or use slice almonds.
  • Change Seasoning – We love the addition of the minced garlic but you can also mix in Italian seasoning or ranch seasoning packet.
  • Serving Dip – Make sure that you do not leave this dip out to long when serving. You do not want to serve it at room temperature. This dip is best served chilled.
  • One Bowl Dip – Everything is mixed together in less than 5 minutes in one bowl. Makes for an easy appetizer.
  • Bacon – Bacon Bits work just as good using chopped up bacon. Use what you have and what is easiest for you.

Can you Freeze Million Dollar Dip?

No, we do not recommend freezing this dip. Since the main ingredient in this dip is mayonnaise, it will not hold up when freezing. The taste may stay the same but the texture will change.

Can this Dip be prepared ahead of time?

If we are making this dip for a party, we like to make ahead of time. I usually make it the night before serving so it will be ready to serve. This saves me so much time.

In fact, I like to make ahead of time as we think it taste better as the ingredients blend together.
