If you’re looking for the ultimate party dip that’s creamy, cheesy, and absolutely irresistible, this Neiman Marcus Dip—also known as Miracle Dip—is about to become your new favorite recipe.

Neiman Marcus Dip is quick and easy to make and a definite crowd pleaser.

What Is Neiman Marcus Dip?

Despite the fancy name, this dip is surprisingly down-to-earth. The story goes that it originated from the Neiman Marcus department store’s cookbook, and over the years, it’s earned the nickname Miracle Dip, and for good reason! With its rich, creamy texture and flavorful mix of bacon, green onions, and shredded cheese, it tastes like something that took hours to make… but only takes minutes. This Neiman Marcus Dip has officially become a family favorite in my house. It's one of those recipes that looks fancy but takes barely any effort. I made this miracle dip for Thanksgiving, and I'm not kidding, it was almost gone before dinner. To elevate this dip, try it with our semi-homemade pita chip recipe, a healthier and more affordable option for dips and snacking. Semi-Homemade Pita Chip Recipe

Creamy and flavorful, this easy Neiman Marcus dip pairs perfectly with crackers for a delicious snack.

Tips

Bacon Bits Make It Even Easier

If you’re short on time or don’t feel like frying bacon, don’t worry—bacon bits work perfectly in this recipe. They add the same salty, smoky flavor without the mess or cleanup. Choose real bacon bits (not imitation) for the best taste. This small swap keeps the recipe quick and easy while still delivering that classic Nieman Marcus Dip flavor everyone loves. I always use bacon bits.

Use Freshly Grated Cheese

For the creamiest texture, I always recommend using freshly grated cheese. It blends better and gives the dip a rich, velvety texture. Pre-shredded cheese is convenient, but it's coated with a cake agent so the shreds don't stick together; that coating keeps the cheese from mixing into the dip well. Taking an extra minute to grate your own cheese makes a noticeable difference in both flavor and texture.

Serving Ideas

Neiman Marcus Dip is delicious with just about anything you can scoop, spread, or dunk. Serve it with crackers, pretzels, fresh veggies, or my semi-homemade pita chips for a healthier option. It also makes an amazing topping for a baked potato—the creamy, cheesy, bacon-filled flavor melts right into the warm potato and takes it to a whole new level.
