  5. Gently fold all the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed throughout the creamy base. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the dip less desirable.
  6. Spoon the Million Dollar Dip Recipe mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe skillet. Spread it evenly to ensure consistent baking.
  7. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden. You want to see it bubbling around the edges.
  8. Once out of the oven, you can sprinkle with additional chopped chives, extra bacon bits, or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal. Serve with your favorite dippers like tortilla chips, pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.

  9. Allow the Million Dollar Dip Recipe to cool slightly before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm, so keep it in a small chafing dish or a slow cooker on the "warm" setting if you plan to serve it over an extended period.
