Million Dollar Dip
This creamy, crunchy dip combines sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, green onions, and crisp turkey bacon for a crowd-pleasing appetizer that's perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Dip Base
- 1 cup sour cream full-fat for richest texture; low-fat OK for lighter dip
- 1 cup mayonnaise use regular or light mayo; Greek yogurt may substitute for a tangier twist
Mix-ins
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or a sharp blend works best; avoid pre-shredded if possible
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions white + green parts for sweetness and color
- 1/2 cup crumbled turkey bacon cooked until crisp; reserve a few larger pieces for topping
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove fresh garlic, finely minced, for a brighter bite
- 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust depending on how salty your turkey bacon and cheese are
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Put the sour cream and mayonnaise into a medium mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.
- Add the shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and crumbled turkey bacon. Fold everything together until evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix briefly to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Transfer to a serving bowl. For best flavor, refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to let the ingredients meld.
- If serving immediately, garnish with extra green onion or turkey bacon.
Notes
For a fresher flavor, use freshly grated cheddar. If you want lower fat, replace half the mayo with plain Greek yogurt for a tangier result.
