Seven-Layer Bean Dip

I know what you are saying, I already have a recipe for this! And even if you don't you could probably make it up without a recipe at all. Trust me this is miles above any seven-layer dip you have ever eaten!

I got this recipe from our favorite next-door neighbors in Provo. Missing them while they enjoy Seattle these days! Anyways!! This recipe adds a subtle flavor that you would not normally find. After I tried this, every other bean dip just tasted bland!

(Oh and don't worry, it's not spicy!)

Ingredients:
2 cans of refried beans with Green Chile and Lime
16 oz container of guacamole dip
16 oz container of sour cream
Taco Seasoning
Olives, Chopped small
2-3 stalks of green onions, sliced
Mexican Blend shredded cheese
Mild Salsa, or pico de gallo (you want this fresh, find in the refrigerated section of the grocery store or make it yourself)

Spread one can of refried beans in an 8x8 or 9x9 casserole dish. Then spread on top of that the guacamole dip. Next, spread out the other can of refried beans. Then mix together sour cream and taco seasoning, add a tablespoon or two, try a taste, and then add more to your liking. Layer that on top. Then sprinkle cheese, olives, and green onions! Drain salsa and then sprinkle over everything. You want to add the first three ingredients and if you are not serving it right away, hold off on the rest of the topping so they don't get soggy!


The key is to buy guacamole dip that is over by the refrigerated salsas in the grocery store. It is a lighter green and it has more of a creamy texture. This helps break-up the bottom layers so it's not super thick and hard to eat. Try it out and let me know how it goes. Remember the key is flavor with this dip.

Thanks Ben and Jess for this awesome dip and the good parties we had with it!!
