HOT SEVEN-LAYER DIP



Hot Seven-Layer Dip image

It's everyone's favorite dip but with one crucial difference: It's hot and melty. This oven-friendly seven-layer dip starts with an extra-creamy cream cheese bottom layer, then gets topped with some smooth Tex-Mex-spiced refried beans, a layer of melted cheddar, plus ripe olives, and finished off with chopped tomatoes, sliced jalapeños and fresh avocado, so it has all the deliciously zesty, fresh contrast of the original recipe. Try this easy and indulgent dip next time you're having a party-we think it will receive a warm reception!

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ 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 (2.25 ounce) can black olives, chopped
½ cup chopped tomatoes
½ cup chopped green onions

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, brown ground beef. Set aside to drain and cool to room temperature.
  • Spread the beans into the bottom of a 9x13 inch serving tray that is about 1 1/2 inches deep. 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. I think it tastes better at room temperature.

SEVEN-LAYER DIP



Seven-Layer Dip image

For this recipe, the traditional 7-layer dip has been revisited so that each layer is good enough to eat on its own, but isn't so much effort that the whole thing can't be finished in 20 minutes. The order of the layers offers some delightful moments, like where the cheese melts into the warm refried beans or where the cool sour cream meets the fiery salsa. Cilantro and scallions serve as a refreshing counterpoint, and Fritos lend added crunch. No need to dig out your trifle bowl: A platter with a lip is preferred here for easier scooping.
