Party Time Seven Layer Dip Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown ground beef. Set aside to drain and cool to room temperature.
• Spread the beans into the bottom of a 9x13 inch serving tray that is about 1 1/2 inches deep. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheese on top of beans. Sprinkle beef on top of cheese. Spread sour cream very slowly on top of beef. Spread guacamole on top of sour cream. Pour salsa over guacamole and spread evenly. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese. Sprinkle black olives, tomatoes, and green onions on top.
• You can serve this dish immediately, or refrigerate it over night and serve cold. I think it tastes better at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mash the avocados. Mix in lime juice, cilantro, salsa, garlic salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, blend the sour cream and taco seasoning.
• In a 9x13 inch dish or on a large serving platter, spread the refried beans. Top with sour cream mixture. Spread on guacamole. Top with tomatoes, green onions, Mexican-style cheese blend and black olives.

Steps:

• Bean layer: In a bowl, mash everything together until smooth, set aside.
• Guacamole layer: Mash everything together until smooth.
• If you are making the guacamole ahead of time, cover it very tightly with plastic wrap.
• The wrap should rest on top of the guac, not above it.
• Don't even think about putting the avocado pit in the guac to keep it green, it's not going to work.
• What works is the lime juice in the guac and the plastic wrap on the guac, to keep out the air.
• Even after 24 hours the guac is not going to be a gorgeous green, but no one will care, it will taste delicious anyway, and have another 5 layers of stuff over it.
• Other layers: In a large, straight-sided glass dish, spread the bean layer across the bottom.
• Spread half the tomatoes over the bean layer.
• Spread the guacamole over the chopped tomatoes.
• Spread the drained salsa over the guacamole, then the sour cream over the salsa, then the other half of the tomatoes, then the grated Cheddar.
• You can add some black olives over the Cheddar, and then you can call it Eight Layer Dip.
• Serve with lots of tortilla chips.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, blend the taco seasoning mix and refried beans. Spread the mixture onto a large serving platter.
• Mix the sour cream and cream cheese in a medium bowl. Spread over the refried beans.
• Top the layers with salsa. Place a layer of tomato, green bell pepper, green onions and lettuce over the salsa, and top with Cheddar cheese. Garnish with black olives.
