We made a cleanish version of 7-layer dip for the superbowl yesterday. The recipe called for taco seasoning. Please, please don’t purchase those over priced little packets. Stock your pantry with good quality, pure spices and mix your own. This took us about 3 minutes to throw together and we didn’t get all the nasties and fillers (and even sugar!) that come in some pre-mixed packets.

Plus, it’s very customizable.  If you like more garlic and pepper flavor, just add more.  Lots of recipes call for additives such as corn starch.  We’ve found that it works perfectly fine without it.  YMMV.

The finished product got rave reviews btw.
