How to make Million Dollar Dip with Cream Cheese

This dip comes together fast, but each step helps build the best texture and flavor.

1. Soften the cream cheese

Place the cream cheese on the counter for about 30 minutes so it softens evenly. Soft cream cheese blends smoothly and prevents lumps in the finished dip.

2. Mix the base

Add the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise to a large bowl. Stir until completely smooth and creamy. Take your time here to create a uniform base.

3. Add the cheese

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese gently. Mixing slowly keeps the texture thick while evenly distributing the cheese throughout the dip.

4. Stir in the add ins

Add chopped green onions and cooked bacon pieces. Stir just until everything looks evenly mixed and colorful

5. Season the dip

Sprinkle in garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix again, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

6. Chill before serving

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour. This resting time helps the flavors blend and firms up the texture.
