When it comes to Super Bowl spreads, the classic 7 layer dip is a frequent player, and we can totally see why. But, when we're craving a hot and cheesy bean dip, this refried bean dip is the one we turn to. Make it as a must-have party dip for game day, or serve it alongside your sides for taco night—this dip is so easy, it's worth being celebrated.
What's in bean dip?
There's plenty of bean dips out there (our black bean dip and taco dip to name a few), but refried beans take the center stage in this recipe. Cream cheese and sour cream are added to make thing extra creamy, while two types of shredded cheese turn this dip into cheesy, bubbling goodness. We added thinly sliced green onions, jalapeño and taco seasoning to amp up the flavor, but you can really customize with your flavors and seasonings here!
What should I top it with?
All of your fave taco toppings, of course. We went with crumbled queso fresco, thinly sliced green onions, cherry tomatoes, red onions and diced jalapeño for a kick of hit. But, feel free to customize this however you please! Skip the jalapeño if it's not your thing, drizzle on hot sauce or your favorite salsa, or top with diced black olives—there's no limit to what you can top this creamy dip with.
Can I make it ahead?
Absolutely! Simply prepare your dip, fill your pan, then cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge until ready to top with shredded cheese and bake.
How do I store it?
If you have any leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
