7 Layer Bean Dip
"This 7 layer bean dip is great for Super Bowl parties, work parties, other gatherings! Pretty easy to make...you can use store bought guacamole if you can't find ripe avocados."

THIS SHOULD BE IN EVERYONE'S COOKBOOK. This colourful dip is usually "inhaled" at any party I have been to. In a pinch, when avocados are outrageously priced, I have either purchased frozen guacamole or left out that layer all together. It is still great. It is also nice to use a mixture of cheddar and jack cheese on top. I normally serve with a mixture of "blue", white and yellow tortilla chips. Great recipe! -
This is the same recipe I've been making for many years. Every time I make it it gets devoured instantly. Absolutly the best. The only thing I do differently is to put the shredded cheese on right after the sour cream layer. Then I layer on the tomatoes, olives, and onions. I think it's prettier this way. -
Simple and quick. I doubled the recipe for a potluck last night and put it in a 9 x 13 glass pan. I bought guacamole at the local Mexican food store, because it's so good. I layered it bean dip, guacamole, sour cream mixture, cheese, tomatoes, green onion, and added chilies, and cut down taco seasoning to 3/4 of a package. It took me less than 15 minutes to make and was a huge hit, gone to the last scoop.

I used refried beans instead of "bean dip" and it came out great. This is a fabulous recipe. My friends loved it.

I have also made this for many years and YES always a crowd pleaser, something about the bean dip and sour cream with the taco seasoning...a true older but goodie!

This was good and easy to make. I don't eat avocados so I used lettuce instead. I also don't care for raw onions so I just didn't add them. I followed the rest of the recipe as written and everyone enjoyed this.

Made this yesterday for my mother-in-law's birthday and it was a hit! I did make two changes though, instead of green onions, I used regular white onions and used one can of spicy bean dip to give it a little kick. Will definitely make this again!

Very good, although I made several small changes. I finely chop lettuce and use that instead of the guacamole layer. I use 1 can of refried beans instead of the 2 cans of bean dip. I use sliced green stuffed olives instead of black olives. I also adjust the amount of tomatoes, olives, green onions and cheese to our tastes. Thanks again for sharing.

My husband loves this stuff. I changed it up a bit by adding 1 pound ground beef mixed with taco seasoning mix, 16oz sour cream, 1 can of refried beans, instead of bean dip, 16oz chunky salsa instead of tomatoes and onion, and I actually make gucamole instead of just plain avocados. My husband made himself sick eating an entire batch almost all by himself. Great stuff. -
I can't believe I haven't rated this. My other layer dip like this uses salsa instead of guacamole and refried beans instead of bean dip...I like this one SO MUCH BETTER! Thanks for posting!
