Seven Layer Taco Dip
SUBMITTED BY:
SUE CASE
PHOTO BY:
Erin
"I am continuously asked to bring this dip for parties and family get-togethers. People gather around the platter until it's gone. Five layers of Mexican-inspired delights are topped by a layer of vegetables, then smothered in cheese and garnished with black olives. The vegetables may be varied according to taste."

I make a recipe very similar to this. I do not use lettuce (as it tends to wilt as it sits out) and I don't use green pepper. Even though I love green pepper, I don't feel it belongs in this recipe (just my opinion). I make homemade guacamole and put that layer on top of the sour cream/cream cheese layer. I found a good guac recipe on this site (LuvAnn's Guacamole) that I use. They always "lick the platter clean" every single time. I've NEVER had leftovers. I serve with Tostitos Scoops as they grab the dip more! Oh and this doesnt' totally spread to fit in a 13x9 pan (mostly the beans don't) so I bought a clear pyrex dish a slightly smaller size. This dish has pretty much become my 7-layer dip dish because it's requested so much at every party! This is an awesome crowd pleaser.

This recipe is very good as is, but is also easy to alter to personal taste. I have took suggestions of others and added 1 lb. of hamburger to the taco seasoning and guacamole instead of lettuce, both very good. I however like this recipe best with medium taco seasoning and salsa and also adding a can of Rotel instead of the tomato, green pepper, onions. Very easy and adds a bit of a kick to it. The 13X9in. dish works the best.

Great dip. I started off with the beans for layer one. The cream cheese , sour cream, and half of taco seasoning mix(makes it very spicy)mixed together for layer two. I added guacamole for layer three. Diced tomatoes for layer four. Black olives for layer five. Salsa for layer six and lots of shredded cheese for layer seven. I skipped onions, lettuce, and peppers and spread my layers in a 13x9 inch glass dish and heated at 350 for 30 minutes and talk about people raving. Everyone wanted to know the recipe. Easy, delicious and def a keeper for a fun appetizer

Just wonderful! I actually used a hybrid of user advice here and ended up with this layer combination (from bottom up): Layer 1-refried beans Layer 2-Cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning Layer 3-Guacamole Layer 4-Tomatoes, green peppers, green onions, and lettuce Layer 5-Salsa Layer 6-Shredded Cheddar cheese Layer 7-Black beans I really liked this combination of ingredients and didn't find the lettuce or any of the other vegetables to be bothersome. I didn't know whether I would prefer this dish hot or cold, so I served it warm the first night, and we had the leftovers cold. I love it either way, and plan to make it again, both for my own family and for get-togethers, for which it is perfect in terms of size.

I'm a big fan of taco dip, so I LOVED this recipe. I've made it many times and everyone always loves it. I think it's way better without meat in it. I find that I can't have it in the refrigerator, because if I do I'll eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My only suggestion would be to definitely get the thick and chunky salsa, and drain it a bit; otherwise it gets a little runny. Thanks for the recipe!

Great recipe, thank you. One word of advice on the container you put it in, an 11 x 7 is no where near large enough. I ended up leaving out the lettuce, not that any one cared! I will use my 9 x 13 next time, I think that will be the perfect size. Thanks again.

This is so good! The cream cheese really adds something to the sour cream layer. I took this to a function and it was all eaten--people went back for more! I don't think it really makes 56 servings; I would guess more like 25 or so.

This is very good! I realized I was out of taco seasoning but found a "homemade" version from this site (submitted by Bill Echols) and used that instead. I omitted the salsa, so I guess my dip only had six layers but great just the same! I also used refried beans with green chilies. Thank you sue!

I drastically reduced the fat and calories by substituting fat-free sour cream, fat-free cream cheese, and reduced fat cheddar. Brought it to a party and NO ONE noticed the change, because all the other flavors made up for it. The dip was scarfed up, and I got requests for the recipe.

This dip is wonderful! I have even altered it a little bit by adding a layer of hamburger meat mixed with the taco seasoning mix. That is wonderful as well. My husband and I love it and it is good and easy for like Saturday nights when we just want something small but so good!
