Seven Layer Dip

This is a great party dip because it's best served at room temperature. You can set it out on the table early and finish cooking the rest of your meal.

Yield

12 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
4 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 cup guacamole
1 cup salsa
1 (6 ounce) can black olives, chopped
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped green onions

Directions

In a large skillet, brown ground beef. Set aside to drain and cool to room temperature.

Spread the beans into the bottom of a 13" x 9" x 1 1/2" serving tray. 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. It tastes better at room temperature.
