Hello and Welcome to January’s Pinterest Challenge!

Each month, our lovely host Cindy from CountyRoad407.com, chooses a photo each month to inspire a group of creative blogging buddies. Using the inspiration photo, we recreate something similar, but in our own personal style.

Instead of a home decor project this month, Cindy put a little twist on the challenge this month. There is no photo this month. Instead, The Pinterest Challenge for January is all about Super Bowl recipes! Isn’t that perfect for this time of year?

Each mouthwatering recipe is linked here, so scroll to the bottom of this post to see all of the delicious delights!

If you are visiting from Blue Sky At Home, welcome! I am so glad you are here! Carol always shares the most creative ideas and this challenge is no exception. Doesn’t her chili look amazing? I can’t wait to give it a try!

Easy and Delicious Mexican Layer Dip

I have been making this layered party dip since I was a newly-wed, almost 27 years ago! I don’t remember where I got the recipe. It was before the internet, so it was probably in a magazine or from a friend.

Since then, this Mexican Layer Dip has become a favorite at get-togethers, to enjoy while watching a game or movie, and along side Taco Tuesdays. This delicious dip is so easy to put together and I am happy to share it with you today!

Mexican Layer Dip Ingredients:

• refried beans
• salsa
• sour cream
• shredded cheese (Monterey Jack, Cheddar)
• sliced black olives
• scallions

How to Make Mexican Layer Dip:

1. Spread a can of refried beans on the bottom of a serving dish. I sometimes warm the beans for just 30 seconds in the microwave so they can easily spread.
2. Next, add a layer of salsa. I usually use one small jar, or 1/2 of a large jar (about 2 cups)
3. Then add a 16 ounce tub of sour cream on top of the salsa create a thick layer of creaminess.
4. Top with shredded cheese, sliced black olives, and scallions.

Variations:

• Add guacamole
• Add seasoned ground turkey, ground beef, or chicken
• Add shredded lettuce

What to Serve with Mexican Layer Dip:

• tortilla chips
• fresh veggies
• use on soft tortillas to create roll up
