Ingredients
Scale
Beans and Dairy
- 2 16-oz cans refried beans
- 8 ounces cream cheese (full fat or low fat)
- 8 ounces sour cream (full fat or low fat)
Seasoning and Cheese
- 1 ounce package McCormick Taco Seasoning Mix
- 2 cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese
- 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1 4-ounce can chopped roasted green chiles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350˚F to prepare for baking the dip.
- Soften Dairy: Cut the cream cheese into large chunks, place in a microwave-safe bowl, add sour cream, and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute. Stir well to combine until smooth.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the refried beans and taco seasoning mix to the cream cheese mixture. Use a hand mixer if needed to achieve a smooth consistency. Stir in the chopped roasted green chiles if using, and add one-third of the shredded cheeses to the mixture.
- Layer the Dip: Spread the bean and cheese mixture evenly in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheeses evenly over the top of the bean mixture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and golden, and the refried beans are hot around the edges. At higher altitudes, it may take up to 35 minutes.
- Serve Warm: Remove from oven and serve the dip warm with sturdy tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
- Using full fat or low fat cream cheese and sour cream works well depending on preference.
- Microwaving the cream cheese mixture helps to easily combine ingredients without lumps.
- Feel free to omit roasted green chiles if you prefer a milder dip.
- This dip is best served warm to enjoy the gooey melted cheeses.
- Sturdy tortilla chips work best for dipping to avoid breakage.
