I made Rachael Ray's lucky seven-layer dip to see if it was worth serving at a Super Bowl party.
The list of ingredients was long, but the dip was pretty easy to make and really tasty.

As a new football fan who can credit the Taylor Swift effect for getting me into the game, my Super Bowl highlight has always been the food.

When I was tasked with bringing a dish to a Super Bowl party this year, I decided to make Rachael Ray’s lucky seven-layer dip for the first time.

The Food Network chef is known for her straightforward 30-minute recipes, so I wanted to see how easy and flavorful this potential party appetizer could be.

Here's how it went.
