Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 16 ounce cans refried beans
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided use
  • 1/2 cup Pico de Gallo optional garnish
  • tortilla chips for serving
  • cooking spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9 or 10 inch baking dish or skillet with cooking spray.
  2. Place the cream cheese in the bowl of a mixer. Beat until light and fluffy. Add the sour cream and beat until well mixed.
  3. Stir in the refried beans, taco seasoning and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  4. Spoon the bean mixture into the prepared dish. Top with remaining cheese.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until dip is bubbly and cheese is melted.
  6. Top with pico de gallo, and serve with tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated cheese instead of shredded cheese in a bag. The pre-shredded cheeses tend to use anti-caking agents which prevents the cheese from melting smoothly.
  • Use high quality canned refried beans which have a dark color and a nice consistency. Some generic brand refried beans can be watery.
  • If you want to save some calories, you can use low fat cream cheese and sour cream.
