We made Mels Ultimate 7-layer Dip for Superbowl Sunday at Miranda's house. It took us 2 hours to double the recipe to make a 9x13 pan. I swore I would never make it again even if it was amazing and I told everyone there that they needed to eat it and lie to me that it was amazing even if it wasn't.
In the end it was delicious. Kimball suggested more beans, but I was fine with the amount. I shouldn't have doubled the recipe because there was lots left. It ended up that the leftovers of it was amazing too. We left some with Miranda and she wished we left more. I think the limes kept the avocados green even after two days. We ended up using it on quesadilla's and the kids ate it for there afternoon snacks both days. After it was gone we were all a little sad.
Miranda suggested if we make it again to have everyone bring a prepared layer and then it wouldn't be so overwhelming.
My regrets about this was that it cost more than I should have spent (though eating it for two extra days made me feel better about it), Kimball missed a lot of the Superbowl to help me, and I missed out on family time.
On a side note, the recipe says "Note: STOP! Don't get scared away by all the components and ingredients listed below. I promise it's not as complicated as it looks - and I promise the result is worth it". Don't believe it.
It was yummy! Thanks for the sacrifice:-)
