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 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, toasted sliced almonds, and chopped green onions.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. For best results, chill for 2 hours or overnight.
- Serve cold with crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetable sticks.
Notes
- Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned. Watch them closely as they burn fast.
- You can make this Neiman Marcus Million Dollar Dip ahead of time; it tastes even better the next day.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can pulse the ingredients briefly in a food processor, but do not over-process; you want some texture from the bacon and nuts.
