Equipment

Ingredients

  • 16 ounce can Refried Beans
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning (may add only 1 1/2 Tablespoons)
  • 2 Tablespoons Hot Sauce
  • 2 1/2 cups Mexican Cheese Blend

Topping Ideas:

  • Cilantro, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, Avocado, Green Onions, Sour Cream, Salsa

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, whip together refried beans, softened cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning, and hot sauce. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of Mexican cheese, reserving 1 cup for the topping.
  • Pour into an 8-inch baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly.
  • Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and top with toppings of choice.
  • Serve warm with tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Refried Beans -- you can use any canned refried beans. My favorite refried beans are the Rosarito Spicy Jalapeno refried beans. They have the perfect amount of spice.
  • Sour Cream -- I suggest using full-fat sour cream to make it extra creamy.
  • Cream Cheese -- use softened full-fat cream cheese. If the cream cheese is at room temperature, it makes it easier to combine the ingredients.
  • Taco Seasoning -- a mix of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper adds so much flavor to this hot bean dip.
  • Hot Sauce -- I like to use different types of hot sauce in this bean and cheese dip recipe -- Taco Bell Hot Sauce, Cholula, Tapatio, or your favorite hot sauce. You can also use your favorite jarred salsa.
  • Mexican Cheese -- a mix of creamy Mexican cheeses makes the perfect cheesiest bean dip.
  • Cilantro -- top with fresh chopped cilantro to add freshness to this hot bean and cheese dip.
Optional Additions: Chopped Green Chilies, Green Onions, and Jalapenos
