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.

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.
