This is the best Seven Layer Bean Dip recipe ever! It’s the perfect appetizer for game day, Cinco de Mayo, or anytime you’re craving a salty snack. A total crowd-pleaser!

Seven Layer Dip Recipe

Seven Layer Bean Dip

There are few things that get me excited like this stuff does. I have always loved it, but as I’ve made it over and over throughout the years, I’ve really worked my recipe into what I think is the BEST  Seven Layer Bean Dip ever. This dip is a go-to appetizer for our family, along with this Creamy Jalapeño Ranch Dip and Corn Salsa. I also came up with a Greek Seven Layer Dip made with hummus that is SO GOOD. Check out all of our appetizer recipes here!

There is actually a “secret” ingredient that just takes this Seven Layer Dip to another level. Can you spot it in the pic below?

If you guessed mayo, you’re right. Mayonnaise and taco seasoning make the sour cream layer EXTRA good! I also prefer to use refried black beans for this recipe. Because, yum.

You’re going to want to file this one for your next bean dip occasion. It’s so easy to make, and you can make this ahead of time too if you’re making it for a party. I love it, I love it, I love it.

This recipe makes enough dip to fill a 9×13 dish. If you don’t need that much, make a half-batch in a 9×9 square dish.
