Mouthwatering 7 Layer Dip is always a huge hit at barbecues, get-togethers and gameday gatherings, layering your favorite dip ingredients onto one plate.
This 7 Layer Dip has refried beans, taco meat, sour cream, salsa, cheese, lettuce, and fresh avocado salsa. It’s guaranteed not to make it to half time.

Everyone out there has their own version of a 7 Layer Dip. I know my dad has good one, but it’s a close second compared to this one. What puts this 7 Layer Dip over the edge is the fresh avocado & tomato salsa. It’s pretty much tradition to have beans, cheese, sour cream and salsa on every 7 Layer Dip. It’s after those four staple ingredients that people start to play around with it, making it their own.
In our family, we have a few game-day favorites. The kids and I love beans, so naturally, this dip is a must-have. We also love queso. We’re the dip and dunk kind of people, including my hubby. But he hates beans. Luckily for him, in this recipe for 7 Layer Dip, the beans are at the bottom, so he can delicately remove everything on top and still enjoy it.
This 7 Layer Dip is served all year long in our home or taken to parties throughout the year. Since it’s a game-day must-have and we love football, basketball and baseball {playoffs}, we pretty much could add this recipe to our monthly dinner rotation.
I love making a big deal for parties and small get-togethers at our home. We usually serve an appetizer before our meal, like this 7 Layer Dip, along with a variety of drinks, a main course, and of course a dessert shared quickly thereafter.
Typically, I know the game schedule of at least a few teams that I can plan for accordingly and make sure I have everything on hand.
Last year around the holidays, I shared about my holiday shopping at Family Dollar, a great place I found to pick up everyday essentials that made my holiday easier. It’s the same for game day celebrations. What I love about Family Dollar is the value I receive as a customer for my money and their Everyday Low Prices make me one happy shopper. The assortment they have available is always a plus as well as the convenience. It is something every mom is looking for.
For this 7 Layer Dip, it was nice that I could pick up salsa, chips, sour cream, ground beef and refried beans for base of this dip. In addition, I picked up drinks, paper plates, napkins, sweet treats {Oreos – our favorite cookie}, and plastic silverware. The ease, the price and the assortment made for a successful trip and party.
My little family is so fun on game day, and while the food always elevates the party, it’s the people that make it, right? From the cheers to the boos and half-time games among our family and friends, I always look forward to bringing everyone together for a little fun.
Now while my dad may claim that his 7 Layer Dip is better, I beg to differ. The combination of these ingredients, topped off with with a fresh avocado and tomato salsa is hard to beat. I’ve got my game-day face on people, and I don’t plan on losing.
If you’re looking for a way to make a sure “foodie” win at your next party, try out this 7 Layer Dip. You and your fans will not be disappointed. XOXO San
