The Best Hot 7 Layer Dip

The Best Hot 7 Layer Dip

Super Bowl Sunday is approaching and every great game day has to have a great dip to go with it. Seven layer dips are super popular for good reason, but this hot version is even better. This is a recipe that has been made in my family for as long as I can remember and is always one of the most requested game day appetizers whenever I am asked to bring a dish. Layers of beans, taco seasoned meat, sour cream, salsa, olives, and lots of cheese get baked until ooey and gooey in the oven and then topped with fresh toppings and served alongside corn chips for the ultimate game day snack! This truly is the best hot 7 layer dip and once you make it, you will see why.

Easy Mexican Beef Stew

Easy Mexican Beef Stew

Beef stew is a classic comfort dish that is hearty, filling, and a favorite of my family. I took those same components and turned the idea into a delicious spin creating a Mexican inspired beef stew that is out of this world. While the base of the ingredients are the same of tender chunks of beef, carrots, and potatoes, the spices and toppings are what set this recipe apart from the classic. Cumin, oregano, garlic, and onion create a flavorful broth for the meat and vegetables to simmer in while getting tender and delicious. This easy Mexican beef stew is sure to become a new dinner favorite.
