It's party or Super Bowl time and you need some snacks and appetizers to feed all those hungry people in your living room. Seven layer dip is a great way to fill up those bellies. This is one of those great party snacks that really could be a meal to some. I've tasted many varieties of the seven layer dip. Some have been good, some have been alright, some have been not-so-good, and none ever had anything really special that made me want more. So, I came up with my own Super Bowl or party dip: Mama's Seven Layer Dip.
Ingredients for Mama's Seven Layer Dip:
Directions:
The first step in making Mama's Seven Layer Dip for your Super Bowl or other party is to make Mama's Spicy Guacamole. Leave some extra pico de gallo for one of the dip layers. You'll also need to heat up some refried beans. Adding in some salsa can create a nice flavor. Now that you have those two steps done, you're ready to make Mama's Seven Layer Dip. From this point, it's actually pretty easy.
You will now need to get out a 9 x 12 glass cake pan. The bottom layer in Mama's Seven Layer Dip is the refried beans. Spread those across the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle some shredded cheese and black olives atop the refried beans and put it in the oven for a couple minutes, until the cheese melts.
Next comes the guacamole and then the sour cream. After that, comes the salsa. If you want homemade salsa, follow the pico de gallo recipe, except at the end, place all the ingredients into a blender. Now take the pico de gallo, mix some lettuce in, and sprinkle that atop the other layers. You can also sprinkle some extra shredded cheese and add some extra sour cream to the top for effect.
That's it! Now serve with some seasoned or unseasoned tortilla chips and eat!
* This recipe serves 8, but can be doubled, tripled, etc.
