Super Easy Meatless Nine Layer Mexican Dip Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook beef and half of the onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, sugar, chili powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, about 20 minutes., Spread refried beans into a 13x9-in. dish; top with beef mixture, tomatoes, green pepper and remaining onion. Layer with sour cream and cheese. If desired, top with chopped green onions and chopped tomatoes. Serve with chips.

Steps:

• In large mixing bowl, combine refried beans and salsa. Consistency should be that of cake frosting--spreadable but not thick. Adjust amount of salsa accordingly.
• Spread bean and salsa mixture onto serving platter. (I use the back of a metal serving spoon.).
• Layer remaining ingredients.
• Serve with Baked Tostitos Scoops Tortilla Chips.
• NOTES: Also great as a meal. Even my green-veggie-phobic children devour this dish! This recipe is moderately spicy. Change the heat of the salsa to adjust. You could also top with jalapenos or other hot peppers to add more heat. I sometimes use different greens (prepackaged salad mixes) instead of iceberg lettuce and use different cheeses (pepperjack kicks it up a few notches!).

Steps:

• In a medium pyrex or other oven-proof bowl, layer the ingredients beginning with the beans and ending with the olives.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Heat refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave oven until hot, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Spread beans onto the bottom of a serving platter; refrigerate until the beans are cooled completely, about 10 minutes.
• Spread guacamole in a layer atop the beans. Spread sour cream atop the guacamole. Sprinkle cheese over the sour cream; top with tomatoes.
• Cover platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Spread bean dip in an even layer on a medium sized serving platter.
• Spread guacamole over the bean dip.
• Spread the sour cream over the guacamole.
• Sprinkle the chilies, jalapeños, olives, onions, and tomatoes over the sour cream.
• Sprinkle the cheese over the entire dip covering all the ingredients beneath.
• Serve with chips.
• Note: If desired, you could turn this into a wonderful taco salad by making this in individual taco salad tortilla bowls and adding seasoned ground beef and shredded lettuce.
