Mushroom Tarts

This recipe is from Mom O'Brien. It was a holiday favorite for the O'Briens. We always looked forward to snacking on Grandma Julie's Mushroom Tarts on Christmas day. Here it is, in her handwriting...

Seven Layer Taco Dip

This recipe has many variations; I'm sharing the O'Brien favorite rendition! It's a must have for any gathering of our men. I've got it all assembled and ready to take tonight.

Ingredients

• 1 pounds ground venison (beef)
• 1 packet (1.25 ounces) taco seasoning of choice
• 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
• 2 cups guacamole
• 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
• 1 (16 ounce) jar Chi-Chi’s salsa(medium or hot) or your favorite!
• 1 (2.25 ounce) can black olives, chopped
• Shredded lettuce and chopped onions – optional

Directions 

In a large skillet, brown ground beef. Mix with taco seasoning according to instructions on the packet. Set aside and cool to room temperature. 

Spread the beans into the bottom of a deep dish pie plate or 9x13 pan that is about 1 1/2 inches deep. Spread guacamole on top of beans. Sprinkle beef on top of guacamole. Spread sour cream very slowly on top of beef. Pour salsa over sour cream. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheese on top salsa. Sprinkle (lettuce & onions) black olives on top
