7 layer dip

Mmmmm...7 layers of deliciousness! The NBA finals are on and there isn't a better snack for the game than 7 layer dip. And it's good luck! 2 years ago I made this dip for my boyfriend when his absolute favorite team was in the finals. His team won the championship and 6 months later we were married!

My 7 layers are:

1. Refried Beans on the bottom... to create the foundation!


2. Salsa (I blend mine up so there aren't chunkies)

3. Guacamole then 4. Ground beef

(I didnt have Guac this time so I replaced with cheese...)

5. My favorite part is putting a little taco seasoning in the sour cream and mixing it up!

6. Cut up the tomatoes to sprinkle on the top

7. Finish it off with shredded cheese!

You can also add olives for an 8th layer! Complete the snack with scoop chips and enjoy!
