How To Make 7 Layer Dip

Step 1 – Combine beans and milk – Combine refried beans and milk (or you can use the liquid from the salsa if you prefer) until smooth. Spread in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.

Step 3 – Layer Guacamole – Spoon guacamole over sour cream mixture and cream cheese mixture and gently spread. Repeat with another drained layer of salsa.

Step 3 – Top with other ingredients – Sprinkle with cheese, olives, tomatoes and green onions. I also like to squeeze a little lime juice on top. Yum!

Recipe Tips

• Refried Beans – No need to heat the beans to layer them in the dish. If you are making homemade allow them to cool before layering. Black beans can also be used.
• Guacamole – We recommend making homemade guacamole but you can also use store bought if you are short on time.
• Sour Cream – Make sure to stir the sour cream well before layering. This allows it to spread evenly.
• Shredded Cheese – You can use a variety of different types of cheeses. Mexican blend, Sharp cheddar cheese or Colby Monterrey Jack Cheese is what we have used.
• Roma Tomatoes – If you are adding tomatoes to your dip, use roma tomatoes. They have less juice and helps to keep the dip from getting soggy.
• Refrigerated – Make sure to keep the 7 Layer Dip refrigerated until ready to serve.
