Make the famous Neiman Marcus Dip, also known as the Million Dollar Dip. This easy, cold appetizer combines cream cheese, bacon, almonds, and cheese for a rich, savory party spread.

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
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth.
  2. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, toasted sliced almonds, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well to distribute all ingredients evenly.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
  4. Serve the Neiman Marcus Dip cold with crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Toast the sliced almonds lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • You can prepare this dip a day ahead of time for easy entertaining.
  • For a lower-fat version, substitute light cream cheese and light mayonnaise, though the texture will change slightly.
