Tips for Filling the Individual Seven Layer Dip Cups:

Refried beans:To make them extra creamy add in milk or sour cream and stir together.
Salsa:If the salsa is runny, simply drain the extra liquid before adding to the cups. This will help keep the layers solid on top of each other and wont blend together in the cups.
Filling the individual cups: For the refried beans, sour cream and guacamole place them in their individual ziplock bag and push the ingredients towards the bottom of a corner. Cut the corner of the plastic bag and use like a piping bag to add the wet ingredients easier and more evenly in the individual cups.
Type of cups:To make dipping easier purchase short and wide cups that are clear plastic to see the individual layers of dip.
Dont have cups: Layer the seven layers in a 88, 99 or 1214 glass pan. Adding more ingredients with each layer to fill the whole pan.
Make individual cups ahead of time: These individual cups are best served right away because of the fresh ingredients inside them. They are simple to make and dont take long assembling the layers in the individual cups.
