Recipe Tips:

• Refried Beans – No need to heat the beans to layer them in the dish. If you are making homemade allow them to cool before layering. Black beans can also be used.
• Guacamole – We recommend making homemade guacamole but you can also use store bought if you are short on time.
• Sour Cream – Make sure to stir the sour cream well before layering. This allows it to spread evenly.
• Shredded Cheese – You can use a variety of different types of cheeses. Mexican blend, Sharp cheddar or Colby Monterrey Jack Cheese is what we have used.
• Roma Tomatoes – If you are adding tomatoes to your dip, use roma tomatoes. They have less juice and helps to keep the dip from getting soggy.
• Refrigerated – Make sure to keep the 7 Layer Dip refrigerated until ready to serve.

How Long Does 7 Layer Dip Last In Fridge?

It will last about 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Note that the salsa may become watery but you can drain it before serving.

Can you Make Ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this dip up to two days in advance. Keep in mind that if stored any longer that the guacamole may turn brown if exposed to air.

The Best Baking Dish to Use:

This recipe is perfect in a 9×13 casserole dish. The ones with the lid are really handy if you are taking this dish somewhere.

I love to use  disposable pans if I am taking the dip to a party or someone’s house. It is nice to not have to worry about the dish.

That also helps with clean up on those busy nights. Just use what works for you.
