Seven Layer Dip
This Seven Layer Dip recipe is EASY and perfect for your Super Bowl party! Layers of refried beans, cheddar cheese, avocado, jalapeños, tomatoes, sour cream and olives!
It’s Super Bowl week! That means a week full of great dips and appetizers for your Super Bowl party on Sunday. In case you missed it last week, you’ll want to check out my 103 Super Bowl Recipes – a roundup of recipes already on the site that are perfect for game day menus. This week, I have a few more recipes to add to that roundup that I think you’re going to love. First up is a classic – Seven Layer Dip.
The seven layers are made up the following ingredients:
1. Refried beans warmed up with some Mexican spices
2. Shredded cheddar cheese
3. Jalapeños
4. Avocado
5. Tomatoes
6. Sour cream
7. Olives
It’s basically an all-star lineup of components from every amazing Mexican dip you can think of – bean dip, cheesy stuffed jalapeños, guacamole, salsa, and all topped off with sour cream and olives.
Can you say amazing? The combination of spice from the beans and jalapenos is perfectly balanced with the coolness of the avocado and sour cream. It’s easy to prepare and also easy to double or triple if you’re feeding a large crowd.
Grab a bag of tortilla chips and enjoy!

Well, I’m new to the dip scene, though I’m sure my husband would say I’m a little dip. Seven layers. Acidic Cream. Coach, put me in, I’m ready to play! drift boss
I agree with those who say Zendaya did a great job in her episode. I’m not a huge fan of Euphoria, but just that fifth episode is better than what Lynskey got all season. In the first scene, Zendaya is scary good, showing a side of addiction that I had never seen shown so openly before. If she won for season 1 even though she wasn’t the favorite, I think she’ll win again for her best work yet.
A constructive criticism: Your recipes look great, but the tab on the left with “Pintres, Facebook, etc.” is very annoying & covers part of anything that is in that area which makes it difficult to read.
Love this stuff! I made something similar for a work afternoon tea. There were leftovers (which I was thankful for!) so I ate it for lunch until it was gone. I think it’s healthy, it’s got all the food groups (veg, dairy, protein, etc)! Yum.
This looks very tasty! Adding it to Sunday’s menu:)
This is always a winner!

I’ve never actually eaten this dip but it looks delicious and I’ve seen it in the deli section at some grocery stores. You mention heating the beans until they are soft and bubbly and assembling everything while it’s hot. I’m wondering if this can be made in advance? The beans would get cold, but I guess it would be like the store bought version. Can you eat this dip cold??
Hi Grace, I’ve done this! I definitely like it best warm/fresh, but it’s still good after being chilled. If you do so, I would make sure that you completely cover the avocado layer with sour cream so that it doesn’t brown.
I was just thinking about this dip this morning! Glad to see you used a pie pan for serving, I have seen recipes where they use a deep bowl, and all I can think is: pretty, but I can’t get to everything – fail! I must make this soon!!
I’ve made a dip for years that combines refried beans and ground beef along with chili powder and cumin. I often use that as the base for this dip. It’s delicious both ways! This will be served for the Super Bowl — maybe along with an avocado shrimp salsa.
I love to make amazing dips like this. My guests love it the most. I’m making this for the next party I have.
This looks perfect for a Superbowl party! Love it! :)
Whoa, I could dive into that bowl! I love 7-layer dip.
Oh, I LOVE this dip! And every time I make it, it vanishes!
Seven layer dip is always welcome in my home!
You took dip to another level with this one girl! It looks amazing.
I make a very similar recipe…it is SO fabulous!!! I could eat it for dinner!
Oooooh. This isn’t Super Bowl food for me, this is ideal Saturday night food! Looks superb; can’t wait to slouch down on the sofa with a bowl of this and some corn chips :)
Looks great!
This is one dish I’m always obsessed with at parties. If there’s any leftover at my house, I have no problem going at it with a spoon
This is the ultimate game day appetizer. Good luck to your boys!
I love seven layer dip too! Wish that we had canned refried beans and sour cream here in France.
These dips are absolutely fantastic! So easy but so delicious!
Yum! Seven layer dip is always a big favorite here… Yours looks lovely!
I agree with Caroline, now I’m crazing seven layer dip. Not sure I can wait until Sunday!
I love this dip, i make it once in awhile and eat the whole thing. It has avocados in it, must be healthy right?
You can never go wrong with a big layered dip on game day! Yours looks lovely!
LOVE seven layer dip! Looks awesome!
Perfect for Sunday’s game! Go Steelers:)
I love recipes that are super simple but always impressive. This is one of those recipes. I haven’t had it in forever, but now I’m really craving it! I may just be making this now for the super bowl! Thanks!
This is an oldie but goodie! Never any leftovers of this dish!
We love 7 layer dip in our house! All the flavors scream football food :)
I’m obsessed with this dip! I make a similar 7-layer for a lot of parties I go to. It’s so good!
Well, I’m new to the dip scene (although I’m sure my husband would disagree as I’m sure he finds me a little dippy). But 7 layers. Sour Cream. Put me in coach, I’m ready to play!!!
