Cooking with Carrie: Million Dollar Dip!

Start with 8 oz of softened cream cheese in a bowl.

Add 1 cup of mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip) to the cream cheese and mix together by hand.

Add 2 cups of cheddar cheese to the mixture.

Toast 1/2 cup of slivered blanched almonds in a non-stick skillet for about 3-4 minutes to enhance flavor, then add to the bowl.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and some salt and pepper to the mixture.

Chop green onions into small thin circles and add most of them to the bowl, reserving some for garnish.

Chop and fry 8 pieces of bacon, removing excess grease, then add to the mixture.

Combine all ingredients together in the bowl until well mixed.

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve with crackers, bagel chips, or pita chips.

Garnish with remaining green onions and serve.
