Million Dollar Dip
Description
This rich and cheesy dip from Chef John tastes like a million dollars, but uses a budget-friendly blend of bacon, Cheddar, green onions, and almonds.
Ingredients
•
1/2 cup slivered almonds
•
6 slices bacon, or more as needed
•
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
•
1 (8 ounce) package sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
•
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
•
1 pinch cayenne pepper
Directions
1
Toast almonds in a saucepan over medium heat until lightly golden.
2
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy and evenly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly before chopping into bits.
3
Combine mayonnaise and Cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl. Toss in bacon, green onions, almonds, and cayenne. Stir with a spatula until combined. Wrap and chill in the fridge at least 1 hour before transferring to a serving bowl.
