Make Million Dollar Dip

•  1/2 cup slivered almonds
• 8 slices bacon
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 (8-ounce) package shredded cheddar cheese (about 2 cups)
• 4 green onions, sliced thin and divided
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper (this can be omited)

1. Toast the slivered almonds in a pan over medium heat until golden brown. 
2. Let cool. 
3. Cook the bacon until extra crispy—I prefer the oven method. 
4. Drain the bacon and let cool before chopping into bits.
5. Combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise in a bowl and mix until smooth. 
6. Stir in the package of shredded cheese, bacon bits, 3 of the green onions, slivered almonds, and the pinch of cayenne pepper. 
7. Mix until combined. 
8. Top with the additional green onion.
9. Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap or cover with a lid and let chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. 

I recommend serving the dip with some sort of buttery cracker, but raw veggies would be nice too.
