7-Layer Mexican Dip Recipe

I’ve got a bonus recipe for you this morning! Actually, someone wrote in to my Facebook page and asked where this 7-Layer Mexican Dip recipe had gone. Evidently I posted it many moons ago, back before bloggers actually photographed their recipes. (Can you imagine!???) I guess I deleted it at some point.

I actually used to make this 7 Layer Dip ALL the time when we had get-togethers during our younger years. Somehow it got out of rotation. Never one to disappoint my audience, I whipped up a batch last weekend. After I took my pictures, I served it to my family while we played board games, and everyone devoured it.

I personally prefer one of my hot dips, like this Jalapeño Popper Dip or the iconic Buffalo Chicken, but this was nice for a change. Everyone else thought I was nuts for suggesting that I didn’t care for it QUITE as much as some of the others.

Of course, there are as many variations of 7-layer party dips as there are shoes on the floor of my closet (ha!) but this is the one I’ve always made, and it’s always a hit.

This makes an awesome dip for Game Day parties or really any get-together where food will be sitting out for a while. Since it’s best eaten at room temperature, you don’t have to worry about it getting cold or going bad.

Here’s the recipe in a handy printable for your convenience. ENJOY!
