Is it football season already? This Slow Cooker 7-layer Bean Dip is such an easy appetizer for game day! I’m not a huge football fan. Ok, I’m not a fan at all. But I have no problem making food for the game and taking my plate up to the computer or the other TV.
The only real prep work in this Slow Cooker 7-Layer Bean Dip is browning the meat and shredding cheese. And assembling the dip after those tasks are done takes just minutes. You can make this dip your own. I know not all people like jalapeño; fresh tomatoes or avocados could be added instead (at the end of the cooking time).
I have a few more slow cooker party recipes, here is the list of them: Party Food Index.
- 1 (15-oz.) can refried beans
- 1 lb. ground beef- cooked, crumbled, drained and seasoned with salt and pepper.
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 (8-oz.) block cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ cup jarred jalapeno slices
- ¼ cup green onions (add when done)
- In oval slow cooker start by spreading the refried beans on the bottom. Then layer the next items, not adding the green onion until the end.
- Cover, and cook on HIGH for 1.5-2 hours.
- If the salsa has caused some liquid on the top, blot with paper towel.
- Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!






This looks so wonderful and easy! Perfect for a party or the holidays! Yum!
Oooooo… I love this! Perfect for game day! 🙂
Looks fantastic!! I love football and we make something very similar, but I’ve never tried it in the slow cooker! Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
This looks fantastic. I would love this for game day.
I love the idea of a slow cooker appetizer! Frees up space in the oven and stays nice and warm for a long time. Fabulous idea!
Bean dip is my guilty pleasure – I actually have been eating it all week! I love the idea of making it in the slow cooker… I might have to make this and eat it all next week too!
I love jalapenos and it wouldn’t be bean dip without them for me. This looks delicious! I need to try it in my new crockpot. LOL
Sounds delicious and I love jalapenos! I love avocados also but Grumpy would refeuse to eat anything with an avocado (that he could see!) in it.
That looks seriously fantastic! I love that it is made in the slow cooker. Pinning. Thanks
Love the ideas for football parties.
Totally drooling over this! So glad to meet you at the conference. Loving all the slow cooker goodness!
This looks SERIOUSLY divine!!! I love cheese. I can’t wait to try this!
Oh does this look fantastic!!! With all that gooey cheese, how could it be anything but amazing???? And I’m so bummed we didn’t get a chance to meet at the IFBC. I’ve already decided to go again next year, though, so maybe we’ll get the chance 🙂
Liz: I have never heard of the IFBC….I’m a widowed 71 year old man from Michigan, and I use my slow cooker all the time in the late Fall and Winter…I cook on the outdoor grill when the weather is good, but in Michigan Winter can be brutal …..So, please tell me what IFBC is all about….if it is a site where us slow cookers can exchange ideas, please let me know how/if I could become involved….Thanks, Mike
Hi! I just love how simple this recipe is!! It is definitely perfect for game day!
Also, wanted to let you know I will be featuring your recipe in a newsletter for my recipe site SimpleRecipes.Club 😀 I will also give it a share on FB/Pinterest!
Hope you have a great day!
I’m making this in my casserole crock pot. Thanks for the recipe.
I bet that will work great in the casserole crock!
I made this dip today. It was very good and flavorful. A couple of things I did different, was when I cooked my ground beef I added onions to it. I seasoned my beans. Also when I put my dip on my plate I added guacamole to it. I will make this dip over and over. I will probably double the recipe. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Amazing dip! I cook my meat w/ taco seasoning and add a layer of black olives!! Sooo good!
