Steps:
- In a large skillet, brown ground beef. Set aside to drain and cool to room temperature.
- Spread the beans into the bottom of a 9x13 inch serving tray that is about 1 1/2 inches deep. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheese on top of beans. Sprinkle beef on top of cheese. Spread sour cream very slowly on top of beef. Spread guacamole on top of sour cream. Pour salsa over guacamole and spread evenly. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese. Sprinkle black olives, tomatoes, and green onions on top.
- You can serve this dish immediately, or refrigerate it over night and serve cold. I think it tastes better at room temperature.

Steps:
- Line a 12-cup bundt pan with plastic wrap and press the wrap into the bottom and sides to fit snugly. Put the ground beef, taco seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the grease, transfer to a bowl and let cool for about 15 minutes.
- Put the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until warm and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in about 1/3 cup of the sour cream, season with salt and pepper and cook until creamy, 1 minute. Let cool for about 15 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the bundt pan, then the refried beans. Top with the lettuce. Put the remaining sour cream in a pastry bag and pipe it over the lettuce until completely covered. Top with the tomatoes and gently press to create an even later. Top with the guacamole and cover with plastic wrap, smoothing the sheet on the surface of the guacamole without any air pockets. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Place a large serving dish on top of the bundt pan. Tap the top of the bundt pan several times. Invert the dip onto the serving dish and remove the plastic wrap. Drizzle the salsa con queso on the top and sides of the dip.
- Put the salsa in a small glass and place in the hole in the center of the dip. Place tortilla chips around the dip for serving.
SUNNY'S EASY 7-LAYER GYRO DIP
One of my favorite things to order for delivery from a Greek restaurant is a gyro salad. It has all the things you want inside a gyro sandwich, but in salad form. It usually comes with two warm pitas on the side, so I love to make my own gyro from all the elements. This is a dip that gives me all those vibes and more. It's great with pita chips or as an easy way to serve gyros to a group without having several topping bowls. Just have warm pita on the side and a spoon to scoop the dip. Sometimes, I serve it this way with crisp, shredded lettuce in a bowl on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right chips: Sturdy chips, such as tortilla chips or pita chips, will hold up well under the weight of the dip.
- Layer the ingredients in the correct order: The order of the layers is important to ensure that the flavors blend well together. Start with a layer of refried beans, followed by sour cream, guacamole, salsa, cheese, and finally, the seasoned ground beef.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dip the best flavor. If possible, use homemade guacamole and salsa.
- Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is one of the key ingredients in this dip, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount. A good melting cheese, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack, will work well.
- Season the ground beef well: The ground beef is an important part of this dip, so make sure to season it well. A simple combination of chili powder, cumin, and salt and pepper will do the trick.
