Bilješke

My mother-in-law always prepares her dip in a deep pie plate but you can also use a rectangular 11 x 7-inch or 9 x 13-inch dish. Just keep in mind that the larger your dish, the thinner the layers will be.

I use refrigerated prepared guacamole for a shortcut, but you can substitute with about 1 and 3/4 cups of homemade guacamole.

For a heartier 7 Layer Dip with Meat, use the taco seasoning and 1 lb. of ground beef to prepare taco meat. Layer the cooled taco meat on top of the refried beans, and then prepare the rest of the dip according to the recipe instructions (using plain sour cream).
