This 7 Layer Dip is one of those things that I remember making pretty much as far back as I remember cooking in the kitchen! I have always loved a great bean dip appetizer (of course, adding a layer of taco seasoned ground beef is great too!), and I know I’m not the only one 🙂
Bean dips in all their combinations are frequently enjoyed at potlucks, parties, and game days all the time.
No wonder it is one of those dishes that all of us here in America have whole-heartedly adopted as a mainstay appetizer!

How To Make A 7 Layer Dip
Is there a right way to make a 7 Layer Dip?
Sure, if you want to be specific it should be layered in the following order: refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, cheese, olives, and a topping (green onion, tomatoes or pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, sliced jalapenos, diced green chiles, etc).
Our layered dip is presented in the standard way, although we mix it up frequently with additional layers and flavor combinations.
Get creative and mix your layers up too!
Add ground beef, flavor your sour cream with our taco seasoning mix, or mix your sour cream with cream cheese, top with some more cilantro…whatever you like on your tacos!
Enjoy!
