Ingredients
- 14 ounce can refried beans

Notes
Do I have to let it set? You can serve this dip immediately, but if you have the time, I recommend chilling it in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow the dip to firm up and bring the flavors together.
How to store: 7-layer dip is best served fresh or within 24 hours. Keep leftover 7 layer dip in the fridge for 4-5 days. Cover the pan with plastic cling wrap or aluminum foil. Note that the longer it is stored, the more the layers will start to blend into each other and won't look as good, but the taste will still be the same.
How to use leftovers: Serve leftovers as dip for your favorite Mexican dishes such as Fish Stick Tacos, Shrimp Avocado Tostadas, Beef and Bean Burritos, or Chicken Quesadillas.
