Ingredients
- 1 ounce can refried beans
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon bacon grease (or butter or olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (I used Cholula)
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese
Instructions
- Add the canned refried beans, sour cream, bacon fat, and hot sauce to a small pot over medium heat. Stir until combined, then keep stirring frequently as the refried beans continue to warm up.
- Note: If you’d like super smooth beans, take a moment to blend with an immersion blender. Or add to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Once heated through, add the Velveeta cheese. Keep stirring frequently, until the cheese has completely melted.
- Remove from heat and serve with tortilla chips.

Notes
- A cheesy note: I think 8 ounces of cheese is a good balance. You can taste the beans AND the cheese, with neither one overpowering the other. Of course if you prefer to add more or less cheese, I won’t judge.

- A note on canned refried beans: Canned refried beans come in a variety of textures. I recommend choosing a smooth one vs. one that is slightly chunky. Though if you’d prefer some texture, who am I stop you? You can always take a moment to blend the beans before adding the Velveeta if you’d like super smooth beans as well.
