Review RecipeMillion Dollar Dip
Table of Contents
Dips are a brilliant way to make any meal or appetizer into something extra, and this million dollar dip is no exception. You only need six simple ingredients to make it, including the ultimate addictive combination of cream cheese, bacon, and cheddar, and it is perfect for all your favorite dippers.
Million Dollar Dip Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 8 ounces of cream cheese, whipped
- 1 cup of mayonnaise
- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, freshly shredded cheese off the block works best
- 7 green onions, chopped
- 1 cube of Dorot crushed garlic, or can use 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- 1 cup of cooked bacon, chopped into small bits (you can use Hormel Real Bacon Bits)
PRO TIP:
We’d recommend grating your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese tends to be coated with a preservative that prevents it from melting well.
Substitutions And Additions
CHEESE: Try swapping the cheddar cheese for other types of cheeses for different flavors in this creamy dip.
You could try something like Monterey Jack if you aren’t keen on strong cheddar. Or even something like a blue cheese such as Dolcelatte or Stilton will be tasty.
BACON: Any bacon works well in this easy dip recipe, or you could swap it for something like cooked pancetta or prosciutto.
