Ingredients
- 6 strips of chopped thick-cut bacon
- ½ peeled and small diced yellow onion
- 3 cloves of finely minced garlic
- 2 15- ounce cans drained and rinsed Cannellini Beans
- 1 15- ounce can drained and rinsed pinto Beans
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 2 cups shredded smoked white cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup of sour cream
- ½ cup of mayonnaise
- sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
- optional garnishes: sliced green onions and roasted peppers and onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°.
- Add the bacon to a medium size pot over medium heat and cook until crispy. Once they are brown and crisp, remove the bacon and set it aside.
- Next, add the onions and garlic to the pot with the rendered bacon fat and cook until browned.
- Drain the beans in a colander and place them into the pot along with a ¼ cup of water and cook over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes or until they begin to break down a bit.
- Mash with a hand masher and fold in half of the cooked bacon, cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.
- Transfer the mixture to a cast iron or enamel pan and top off the remaining shredded cheese. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Garnish the top of the bean dip with optional garnishes and serve with crudité options.
Notes
- Make-ahead: This recipe is meant to be eaten as soon as it is done cooking. However, you can cover it and keep it warm at low temperatures (200°) in the oven for 1 hour before you serve it.
- How to Store: Cover them and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, cover with plastic wrap or place it in a plastic container and keep it in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.
- How To Reheat: To reheat, add it to a small baking dish, cover it with foil, and bake in the oven at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes or until hot.
- This is meant to be a quick recipe, but you can use dried beans that are soaked in water overnight.
- Soaked dried beans will then need to be boiled in water until soft, which will take 1 to 2 hours. From there, drain them and proceed with this recipe.
- Feel free to use whatever cheeses you’d like. Some other good cheeses would be gouda, smoked gouda, regular cheddar cheese, cotija, or queso fresco.
