A seven-layer dip consists of layers of beans, guacamole, sour cream, olives, tomatoes, chiles and cheese making every mouthful a mini taco explosion in your mouth!
The best part about this dish is that you can swap out ANY toppings to suit the crowd! Olives not a hit, throw in some ground beef. Don’t like raw tomatoes, buy a jar of your favorite salsa and use that instead!
This dip is always a crowd pleaser! Whether at a holiday party or as part of your Super Bowl spread, this is sure to go quickly.
My mom made it for a Christmas day family gathering and it was gone so fast; I wish I would have grabbed a larger scoop. Served up with tortilla chips, it can’t be beat.
How To Make 7 Layer Bean Dip
- Seven layer bean dip begins with refried beans – I like to mix my taco seasoning in this layer to kick the flavor up a notch!
- Layer the guacamole in the middle so it doesn’t discolor.
- You can mix the guacamole with the sour cream or have them as separate layers to add more definition to the dip.
- Top with shredded cheese, olives, tomatoes+. I also love adding diced jalapenos if there are spicy fans out there!
Before serving, chill the 7 layer dip for about an hour, this brings the flavors together!
How Long Does 7 Layer Dip Last In Fridge?
7 layer dip lasts 3-4 days in the fridge. The longer it is stored, the more the layers will bleed together and it can get a bit watery (I just drain it off). After the first 24 hours, it may not look pretty, but I can assure you it will still taste uh-maz-ing!
