Bean Dip Recipe
Description
This Bean Dip Recipe uses refried beans mixed with sour cream and cream cheese to create a creamy base. Taco seasoning and salsa add seasoning and tang. The mixture is poured into a baking dish, topped with shredded Mexican cheese, and baked until hot and bubbly with a browned cheese layer on top. The dip’s heat melds the flavors and softens the cheese for a pleasant texture contrast.
It is commonly served warm with tortilla chips for dipping, making it a practical choice for gatherings or casual snacks.
Prep can be done ahead by mixing all ingredients except cheese, refrigerating up to three days, and adding cheese before baking. Alternatively, it can be cooked in a slow cooker in layers to melt the cheese evenly. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for several days or frozen for months and should be reheated gently, adding a splash of milk if needed to restore creaminess.
Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) can refried beans
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 (1-ounce) package taco seasoning
- ¼ cup salsa store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup Mexican cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, mix beans, sour cream, and cream cheese until well combined. Add taco seasoning and salsa and stir to combine.
- Pour into an 8x8-inch baking dish and top with shredded cheese. Bake for 25 minutes.
- Serve hot with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Prepare the bean dip mix in advance, refrigerating without cheese for up to 3 days.
- Add shredded cheese only before baking or melting for best texture.
- Slow cooker method involves layering dip and cheese, cooking on low for 2-3 hours until heated through.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for 3-4 days or freeze for 2-3 months; reheat slowly and add a little milk to restore creaminess if needed.
