Easiest Mexican Layer Dip for Game Day {Recipe}

The Patriots are officially in the Super Bowl so it’s time to start preparing for my favorite Sunday of football and commercial watching and eating a million appetizers. While I usually use game days to try out new recipes, I have a few go-to dips that I make over and over again. Today I’m sharing my super easy Mexican Layer Dip. The best thing about it is that there are a few main ingredients, but after that, you can customize it however you want (I tend to go for lots of layers!).

Check out the recipe below – and note that taking a good photo of this dip was nearly impossible, so just know that it tastes far better than it looks… Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Dip Ingredients

• 8 0z cream cheese (I usually go for whipped because it’s easier to spread, and because I love cream cheese, I use a little more than 8 oz)
• Taco seasoning (I love the seasoning from Trader Joe’s, but you can use any)
• 1 16 oz can refried beans (I use a little more than 3/4 of the can)
• 1 16 oz jar salsa (I use medium or hot)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Optional Toppings

• 1 tomato, chopped
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 1/4 cup sliced jalapenos (more or less depending on how hot you want it)
• 2.25 oz can chopped or sliced black olives

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix cream cheese with taco seasoning. Spread along bottom of an 8 x 12″ baking dish.
• Spread refried beans on top of the cream cheese mixture.
• Spread salsa on top of the refried beans layer.
• Sprinkle cheese on top of the salsa layer.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes on 350 degrees.
• Finish with any or all of the option toppings.
• Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
