It’s less than 24 hours until Cinco De Mayo, and I can‘t wait to eat!
I’ve been cooking my favorite Mexican foods all week, and today I decided I needed a bean dip.
Yes, one can’t have a true Cinco De Mayo party without a good bean dip!
I created my 7 layer bean dip filled with great Mexican cheeses, andouille sausage, and yes people, bacon!
This bean dip is quick and simple.
Now, don’t judge me as you read the directions, don’t forget we’re creating holiday food and it’s suppose to be rich and cheesy!
First, fry some diced bacon, then add some fresh andouille sausage to the bacon grease and cook until crispy.
Remove the sausage from pan and add pureed pinto beans to the bacon/sausage grease.
Yes, people it’s a holiday so add the beans to the grease please.
Look at this people, we’re on our way to tasty bean dip goodness!
It’s time to start layering our 7 Layer Bean Dip, and don’t forget the pickled jalapenos.
You could layer this dip in any order you prefer just make sure you don’t forget to top it with bacon!
Look at this dip…can I get a YUM!
This dip is da bomb!
I fried up some fresh tortilla chips, and I am ready to EAT!
Happy Cinco De Mayo.

Thanks Sheena
Is there any substitute for the Enchilado Cheese ?
Hello, yes, I would use mozzarella cheese, you can also grate the mozzarella cheese and toss it in a couple of tablespoons of enchilada sauce. I hope this helps.

Yum!
Thanks PammyJo.
pammyjo is such a cute name
Wow that looks delicious!!!
Thank you Leslie
so do the green onions go on top and sour cream a guacamole serve on side?
yes and no…I garnish with green onions after the dip is cooked, then I put sour cream and guac on top…it’s up to you how you present it…sometimes….I will put the guac on top of the hot dip…just to warm it..then top with sour cream and green onions…
I’m sure this is one of everyone’s favorite recipes of all time but it’s definitely mine!!! Totally gorgeous, cheesy, and delicious Lisa! Thanks for the Vitamix giveaway!!!
Thanks Heather!!
Hi. I may just have not had enough sleep, but I’m confused about the first layer. Put which everything in the blender? I’m sort of interpreting the instructions as puree beans (black beans okay?), onion, bell pepper & spices, set aside, then refry them in the bacon grease and use them as the first layer?
Hi Karina, everything on the ingredient list is the first layer…yes…what ever beans you like…I use black beans, sometimes I use red beans, even made this with garbanzo beans and it was good…yes…first fry the bacon, then use that to fry the andouille sausage, remove, then add beans and onion to bacon grease…you don’t have to..but the bacon grease gives it more flavor…hope this helps…Enjoy!
Is it possible to get nutritional information on this?
Hello Cat, I have no nutritional information for this dish. I will tell you that this dish is highly fattening. It’s not diet food at all. Suggestion, my beans are fat free the way I do them. If you reduce the cheese to low fat, then you can cut out a lot of fat. Omit the bacon, replace the sausage with chicken andouille or any chicken sausage, then and only then will this dish be light. Oh and eat it with Guiltless Gourmet Fat Free Tortilla Chips. I hope this helps.
I figured it was fattening but it does look very yummy. Another thing is I could also use turkey bacon. I would have to omit the jalapenos because I am allergic to peppers. Thanks for the tips.
Yes, but I believe turkey bacon has more sodium than pork bacon which is just as bad. Unless you can find a low sodium variety. Hope you enjoy it!
