I love it when my partner brings her yummy 7-Layer Bean Dip to our home league matches. I swear, I could eat the whole thing by myself!
This easy-to-make 7-Layer Bean Dip has layers of flavored refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, cheese, olives, and green onion… perfect to nosh on during and after a league match!
The secret to this bean dip is flavored refried beans. Canned refried beans are bland and boring, so these are seasoned with a little cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder, though you could also use pre-packaged taco seasoning. (See the notes section in the recipe for the amount).
Since it is served cold, you can make it the night before your match.
