Tips from leigh Anne
- Add a layer of refried beans or even black beans if you want to add some protein. I’d recommend adding it first.
- A layer of ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning would also add some additional flavor or protein. Add it before the guacamole. Use 1 lb. of meat.
- Add some a can of green chiles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn’t this recipe use refried beans?
Mainly, because I don’t care for them. I added the layer of sour cream and taco seasoning instead of refried beans but if you prefer, replace the sour cream layer with refried beans or add it in addition.
What is the best way to store 7 layer dip?
I recommend making it the day you are going to serve it and keep it refrigerated until ready to serve. If you have leftovers, cover the dip tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator up to 3 days. It may become watery after a day. I do not recommend freezing it.
Do I serve this dip hot or cold?
This recipe is intended to be served cold or at room temperature.
