Dip Ingredients
- 2 cans refried beans (about 15 oz each)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 oz)
- 8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- Green onion, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400˚F (204˚C) to ensure it is ready for baking the dip.
- Mix the Dip: In a large bowl, combine the refried beans, sour cream, taco seasoning, and half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Prepare for Baking: Spread the bean mixture evenly into a pie plate or a medium-sized casserole dish. Then, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the bean mixture.
- Bake the Dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly, and the dip is piping hot throughout.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven, sprinkle chopped green onions over the top for freshness and color, and serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- For extra heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños to the bean mixture before baking.
- Use reduced-fat cheese and sour cream for a lower-fat version of the dip.
- This dip can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
