Sevres a Crowd! Approximately 20 People
Ingredients:
1 Large Can of Refried Beans
1/2 a Bottle of Mild Taco Bell Sauce
1 Medium Container of Sour Cream
2 1/2 Cups Mexican Cheese Blend
8 Roma Tomatoes
1 Package of Cherry Tomatoes
2 Jalapeños
1 Onion
2 8oz Tomato Sauce cans
1 Bunch of Cilantro
5 Avocados
1 Can of Olives (optional)
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
Paprika
Pepper
Cayenne pepper
Chili powder
Seasoning salt
Garlic salt
Instructions:
Bean Layer:
In a medium bowl mix together the refried beans, 1/4 cup of sour cream, half a bottle of Mild Taco Bell Sauce, and 1/4 cup of cheese.
Salsa Layer:
For the salsa chop up eight Roma tomatoes, one onion, 1 bunch of cilantro, and 2 jalapeños (de-seed for a mild salsa or leave in for a hot salsa).
Add to a bowl and add in 1 tablespoon of garlic salt followed by 2 8-ounce cans of tomato sauce. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa set in the fridge overnight.
Guacamole Layer:
Chop and mash five avocados in a medium bowl. Add 1/4 cup of Salsa, 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice, 1/4 cup Sour Cream and season to taste with Paprika, Pepper, Cayenne pepper, Chili powder, Seasoning salt, and Garlic salt. This recipe calls for both seasoning salt and garlic salt. Season the guacamole slowly, tasting as you go, so you don’t make the guacamole too salty.
Assembly:
In a large casserole dish add your ingredients in layers. Make sure to spread each layer evenly.
The 1st layer will be the bean mixture
The 2nd layer will be the salsa
The 3rd layer will be the guacamole
The 4th layer will be sour cream
The 5th layer will be Mexican cheese blend
The 6th layer will be cherry tomatoes
Chopped the cherry tomatoes in half and place in rows on top of the dip
The 7th layer is optional and I preferred to serve the dip without it but if you would like to add the 7th layer place 1 can of olives on top of the dip for a full 7 layers
