Individual 5-layer Taco Dip Cups Recipe

If you follow sports at all you know the “big game” for football is coming up.  While I don’t love football, I still have a Superbowl party complete with awesome food.  It has been ingrained in me after years of watching football with my step-dad growing up.  He would always prepare a feast for game day including chicken wings, ribs, potato skins, nachos and more.  Actually, when I think about it. it was often the men that took the lead when it came to cooking in my family. individual 5-layer nacho dip cups recipe

My Step-Dad often was the “cook” in our house.  For years he worked the afternoon shift at his job, so he would prepare dinner before he left for work and take some for himself while leaving the rest for my Mom, sister and I to enjoy when we got home for school/work.  My Grandfather who retired early was also often the cook of the house, while Grandma worked full time.  With those kind of examples growing up it is no wonder that I just always assumed that all men do their fair share of cooking in the house.  Hubs and I share cooking about 50/50, however when it comes to dishes… well Hubs usually does the bulk of those!

Easy Nacho Dip Recipe

This year we will once again be watching the Superbowl and Hubs will be preparing a feast for our family including homemade chicken wings and nacho dip.  When you have young kids who are still learning the “no double dipping” rule , it just makes sense to opt for individual nacho dip cups.  Everyone gets their own mini layered Nacho Dip to enjoy and you can even customize them to suit each person’s tastes if you like.

Drooling like I am?  Well then head to the grocery store to pick up Gay Lea Sour Cream to whip up this 5-lay Nacho dip in no time at all.  They also offer low fat and fat free options if you are interested in those sorts of varieties.  I will also be picking up a second tub of Gay Lea Sour Cream to top the potato skins with… yum!

If you want to kick up the heat then include the chili powder in the sour cream mixture.  Don’t worry it is not too spicy, but if you are worried this 5-layer nacho dip is still delicious without it.  Not crazy for fresh avocado? Top with green onion, diced olives, or guacamole instead.
