This 9 Layer Bean Dip is so much better than 7 layers. It is loaded with tasty Mexican toppings and sauces and served with crisp tortilla chips.
9 Layer Bean Dip
When it comes to this delicious bean dip, more really is more. I made this 9 Layer Bean Dip a few days ago for some company and the plate was practically licked clean in about 2 minutes! Ok, maybe this “company” was just the two of us. We just couldn’t stop ourselves! It is pretty simple but full of many great flavors!
Why Add More?
Seven Layer Bean Dips are great, but the added layers to this nine layer bean dip give it so much more flavor! This dip is loaded with seasoned refried beans, two kinds of cheese, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and more! For the longest time, I had only ever tasted these kinds of layered dips served cold. It’s delicious, of course, and the flavors all complement one another well. But then one day I tasted the warm version of this layered dip. Game changer. I couldn’t believe the difference this made. Having the beans warm and the cheese melty — it gave it a whole new flavor. I love it both ways — hot or cold — just know you can serve it both ways and it changes the whole texture and flavor. Either way is really tasty.

How To Make 9 Layer Bean Dip
This 9 Layer Bean Dip is so much better than 7 layers. It is loaded with tasty Mexican toppings and sauces and served with crisp tortilla chips.
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 14 oz refried beans (1 can)
- 1 Tbsp. taco seasoning
- 1 c. Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 2 c. guacamole
- 16 oz sour cream (1 container)
- 2 c. salsa
- 1 c. Mexican blend cheese or cheddar, shredded
- 6 oz diced olives
- 2 tomatoes sliced, lightly salted and peppered
- 1/2 bunch cilantro chopped (or to taste)
- 2-3 green onions chopped
- Taco sauce optional, sprinkle over the top before serving
Instructions
- Combine refried beans and taco seasoning in a bowl and stir together (if you want a HOT bean dip, do this in a saucepan on the stove over medium heat). When the taco seasoning is mixed in well, spread mixture on a large serving platter (or 9x13 baking dish).
- Layer remaining ingredients, in order, over beans. I like to sprinkle a little extra cheese near the top layers, but you can do whatever you like!
Equipment
- 9x13 inch pan

My sister and niece were visiting and my niece said "I want nachos" so when I asked my sister what on earth I should make, my sister told me to grab a paper, open a can of beans and then add to that. My niece loved them. Your post reminded me of this wonderful visit.

Hmmmmm…..Don’t think I’ve ever seen 7 or 9 layer dip without ground beef in it??
jean says
I have never seen a layered taco tip WITH any kind of meat in it. i have made this for 40 years now.

Hi I am going to have a party and am going to have about 20 to 25 people come do you think this is enough or should I double the recipie
Emily says
If there is going to be a lot of other food there, one pan would be fine. If this is the main appetizer, I would do two.
Kathye says
How long (hrs) before it is to be served can you make it? My concern is about the avocados. If the avocado is covered, will it oxidize? Thx
Erica says
We usually serve it immediately so the avocado stays fresh
jean says
If I want avocados or guacamole on mine, I add them just before serving. I make this dip the night before I serve it so the flavors can meld. The avocado flavor does not need to do this.
Trang says
This is definitely great for a party but I love your ideas on turning it into a meal too!
