Though I have never been a big fan of seven layer dip, it is essential for any “game day” spread.  This recipe is not only super easy, but the individual servings save you the mess, and are a lot of fun for a party.

What You’ll Need:

• 1 can refried beans
• 1 package taco seasoning
• 1 cup guacamole
• 1 container sour cream
• 1 cup salsa of your choice
• 1 cup shredded cheddar
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 can sliced olives, drained
• Clear plastic cups
• Tortilla chips

In a small bowl, mix the taco seasoning with the refried beans.  Now, start assembling your layers!  Add 2-3 tablespoons of each ingredient for each layer.  Repeat layers until your cup is filled.  If you can, use clear cups so you can see all of the layers!  Top each individual dip with sour cream, cheddar cheese, and a tortilla chip for garnish.
