Gord invited some friends over on Saturday to our place for a BBQ so I decided to put together a 7 layer dip and ended up with an extra layer making it an 8 layer dip! I haven't made 7 layer dip in years but I happened to have all the ingredients so it was an easy one to put together!
I learned how to make 7 layer dip when I was a teen working at our local Grocery Store Deli. not that it's difficult but the Taco Sauce is really what makes the Dip great in my opinion and I learned that trick there! Basically we would take a packet of taco seasoning and mix it with sour cream to make the taco sauce for the 7 layer dips the store sold. But for mine I just used a few scoops of my Homemade Taco Seasoning and it worked perfectly!
If you haven't tried making your own Taco Seasoning I highly recommend it. In our house we go through a lot of Taco Seasoning, so I found we always needed lots of packets on hand when I purchased it. And it seemed as though we were always out! So Gord and I started making our own and couldn't believe how EASY it was! Plus you are in control of how much Salt and other ingredients go into it. I just add all the spices into a Mason Jar, screw on a lid and give it a shake. Done!
