HOT SEVEN-LAYER DIP
It's everyone's favorite dip but with one crucial difference: It's hot and melty. This oven-friendly seven-layer dip starts with an extra-creamy cream cheese bottom layer, then gets topped with some smooth Tex-Mex-spiced refried beans, a layer of melted cheddar, plus ripe olives, and finished off with chopped tomatoes, sliced jalapeños and fresh avocado, so it has all the deliciously zesty, fresh contrast of the original recipe. Try this easy and indulgent dip next time you're having a party-we think it will receive a warm reception!

Steps:
- Begin by throwing the refried beans into a small pan over medium-low heat. Add several dashes of Tabasco sauce and a small can of (undrained) diced green chilies. Stir well. Next, sprinkle a little bit of ground Cumin. Spread the beans on the bottom of a glass bowl or high-sided dish. Over this sprinkle the sharp cheddar. Next, plop your sour cream. And spread it into a single layer, being careful not to disturb the cheese underneath.The next layer is the guacamole. Spread it over the sour cream. Follow this with a layer of Monterey Jack Cheese and a nice sprinkling of chopped black olives. Lastly, place a generous layer of Pico de Gallo. You can also, if you have the gumption for it, sprinkle some diced jalapenos over top.Enjoy!
