Laura’s Seven Layer Dip

It wouldn’t be a Super Bowl without a good dip and my Laura’s 7 Layer dip is a fan favorite. Â This is my twist on the classic seven layer dip. Most recipes use a combination of sour cream with taco seasoning, Â but I like to make mine using ranch dip mix! Â I also made it this time in individual cups. Â They look so cute and you can make sure there is no double dipping. Â However, there is a down side to the cups.
This Laura’s Seven Layer Dip recipe makes 8 individual cups but the amount in each cup is really too much for 1 serving. One cup really can feed two people. It was really too much for one person to eat all by themselves. So I have included instructions on how to make them in the cups and how to make it in one large dish. The individual size dips you should make in the 9 oz tumbler cups because you need the top of the cup to be large enough to dip into. Whether you go for the individual cups or the party size platter – it will be devoured.
