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
