Yummy 7 Layer Bean Dip!!

We love this dip! I received a recipe book

"The Mormon Family Cookbook"

22 1/2 years ago for our wedding. Funny how something can be a family favorite for so long. I am often asked to bring this to parties, family dinners etc.

It is very simple and easy to double, which I do as a rule! You can never have too much!
