I am a HUGE Cowboys fan! I lived in Dallas during the 90's Super Bowls and became a fan when my dad took me to see the Cowboys play. I got to see the triplets play!!! This dip looks so yummy and seven layer dip has been a favorite of mine since I was little but I've never made one. I think it's about time. :) Thanks for sharing
