We brought 7-Layer Hot Italian Dip along with a bottle of red and white Italian wines to a happy-hour party recently. We stepped outside the comfort zone on the wines, perhaps this is a chance to discover a new favorite.
And about this dip. Oh my. I knew when I first read this recipe from Eat at Home Cooks that we’d have a new favorite. Boy was I right. As it turns out, when we delivered 7-Layer Hot Italian Dip straight from the oven, we walked into a happy-hour party already in progress. All in attendance who sampled this new recipe loved it. I think you will as well.
Let’s break down these seven layers of Italian flavor love.

Made this amazing recipe for our Italian themed supper club and it was a huge success! We had to triple the recipe, but it was so easy and the flavors develop into a wonderful depth of super yum. Served with sliced baguette, but works well with plain pita chips too! Will definitely make again!
