Dip Ingredients
- 2 cans refried beans (16 oz each)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 packet taco seasoning (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’s hot and ready for baking the dip.
- Mix the Bean Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the refried beans, sour cream, taco seasoning, and half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Stir well to create a creamy, seasoned bean mixture.
- Prepare for Baking: Spread the bean mixture evenly in a pie plate or a medium-sized casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake the Dip: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese on top is fully melted and bubbly and the dip is piping hot throughout.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute sharp cheddar with Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend for a different flavor profile.
- Add a dash of hot sauce or diced jalapeños to the bean mixture if you prefer a spicy kick.
- This dip can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking directly from cold.
- For a lighter version, use reduced-fat sour cream and cheese.
- Serve with tortilla chips, sliced bell peppers, carrots, or celery for a variety of dipping options.
