Neiman Marcus (Inspired) Dip

By lorik

The dip needs to sit for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. It gets better the longer it sits. We recommend using Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce in this recipe. Serve with Ritz crackers, Fritos corn chips, or apple slices.

Ingredients

• 8 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (2 cups)
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
• 4 scallions, sliced thin
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce
