7 Layer Dip

This Mexican layered dip is so perfect for any get together and it makes enough to feed a small crowd. 

This is a perfect appetizer for a party because you make it ahead of time and then refrigerate. When it's party time, you simply pull out and serve.

Of course, you can also serve it right away. The layers will be a bit soft, but just as delicious. 

I used my Crock Pot Refried Beans, homemade salsa and guacamole in this layered dip. To save time you can always purchase any of them at the grocery store. 

Make this Mexican layer dip your own and add the ingredients you love and omit whatever you don't love. Some options include using pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar, adding black beans, and adding roasted chile peppers!

Serve this 7 layer dip with Baked Tortilla Chips or quick Pita Chips.

    Laura makes a very similar dip for the holidays (and then again for the Super Bowl usually) each year. It's super easy and delicious...but I don't think hers uses guacamole as a layer. I'm totally going to have her add that in next time! This looks delicious, Kathy!
