| Mexican Seven-Layer Dip |
This layered Mexican bean dip is a timeless classic from the BHG cookbook. Sure to be a hit at your Christmas party!
I will never forget the first time I ate this.
We had an Eastern Star picnic at the District Deputy’s home and someone–don’t remember who–brought this. They made the mistake of putting it in front of yours truly. I got half-way through it (by myself) when someone had the good sense to move it far away from me so there’d be some left for others. Talk about a subtle hint LOL!
That’s how powerfully good this dip is. It’s the way the flavors all meld together because each ingredient on it’s own is hardly awesome–well maybe the cheese and guacamole.

This dip is sneaky too–it’s packed with protein because of the beans and it has plenty of tomatoes and avocado. So even though it’s probably packed with calories, MOST of those calories are not empty ones.
I rekindled my passion for this dip when I found it in the new copy of Better Homes and Gardens’ Cookbook. I don’t recall if it was in my golden oldie copy from the 1970s, but this was something I probably would have bypassed way back then.

We always added a packet of taco seasoning to the beans and salsa, these days I would use my own Homemade Happiness Taco Seasoning mix, mmm,mmm,hmmm. Marcia Little

Linda–you might like Marcia's variation with the seasoning mix. I'm trying it that way next time I make it too.
