Creamy Layered Bean Dip

Make a little or a lot, depending on how many people you’re feeding. Starting with herbed cream cheese dip adds flavor and creaminess to this classic dip.

Prep time: 15 minutes

Crystal Sour Cream and garlic and herb cream cheese spread (roughly equal parts of each)

Guacamole

Fresh pico de gallo

Refried beans

Finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Finely chopped black olives (optional)

Stir cream cheese spread to soften and spread even on the bottom of a shallow dish. Spread guacamole evenly over the top. Sprinkle with pico de gallo. Thin refried beans if necessary by stirring in a bit of water and spread over the top, making sure to completely cover the guacamole. Sprinkle with cheese.
