Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- 2 (16 ounce) cans of refried beans
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 taco Seasoning packet (either mild or hot)
- 1 can (7 ounces) chopped green chiles
- 1/8–1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (to taste)
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1 jalapeno thinly sliced
Instructions
- Melt the cream cheese in a large skillet over very low heat. Stir in the refried beans, sour cream, taco seasonings, green chiles, ground cayenne pepper, 1/2 cup Monterey Jack Cheese and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese; cook until smooth and slightly melted. Spoon into a 9×13 casserole dish and top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Shred your own block cheese. It is so much tastier and does not contain cellulose.
- You can use traditional refried beans or fat free refried beans. They both work out well and are delicious.
- We prefer the full fat cream cheese and full fat sour cream in this dip. But by all means if you are on a low fat diet you can certainly use the others and they will blend well and taste good.
- Use good sturdy chips for this recipe as it is real hearty dip with lots of gusto.
- This Warm Bean Dip recipe makes a lot of dip so if it is just you and the family for movie night than you may want to cut this recipe in half.
