7-Layer Mexican Bean Dip
7 Layer Mexican Bean Dip is a go-to meal in our house - served with tortilla chips or flour tortillas. This simple recipe is also served at every party we host and there is never a drop left! It is an excellent make-ahead recipe that I love to freeze and pop in the oven when we have company or a party.
This recipe was first shared about 5 years ago. Since then I have made it about 50 times with a couple dozen variations and it is always a hit.
7 Layer Mexican Bean Dip is a regular meal that my family requests. They ask for it so often that I started making it ahead so all I have to do it pull it out of the freezer and stick it in the oven.
It all starts with a layer of cheesy refried beans and your favorite rice (I love our baked brown rice or jasmine rice cooked in chicken stock).
It is topped with a layer of salsa verde, cheese and seasoned ground beef. A layer of red enchilada sauce really adds mouth watering flavor to this dish. But it wouldn't be complete without a cheesy topping.
This dish serves about 8-12 people. I like to prepare it in small 2 cup oven safe bowls and freeze them for easy meals. Then I pop them in the oven and viola, dinner is served. Can't beat that. Be sure to read the cooks notes for variations and make ahead directions.

Helpful Tips to make 7 Layer Mexican Bean Dip:
- This dish freezes very well. I like to make (6) 2-cup servings and freeze them for easy dinners. Each one serves 2 with chips.
- To pre-make: Prepare recipe as written, but do not bake it. Wrap oven safe dishes in aluminum foil and freeze. Then, place in oven for 30-45 minutes on 350°F until warmed through. Uncover the last 10 minutes to melt the cheese.
- This is an incredibly versatile recipe that can be made with your favorites. Substitute the seasoned ground chicken layer with ground beef or turkey, Italian sausage (omit seasoning) or even diced left over chicken, turkey, beef or pork.
- Diced green chiles are fabulous in place of the Salsa Verde Layer.
What you will need to make 7 Layer Mexican Bean Dip:
- Skillet – I have had this pan since 2006. It is my go-to skillet. It heats evenly and quickly. The stainless steel cleans up beautifully with a little baking soda so they still look brand new.
- Jelly Roll Pans (baking sheets with sides) - used for everything from cookies to roasting, a good baking pan will last for years.
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
