    I mean really isn't that what we all want.. 😊

    And if I told you you could make this dip in one bowl with a few easy to find ingredients and feed a hungry group... then wouldn't you be in?

    OF Course you would...

    This is seriously one of our favorite dips... along with spinach dip of course. 

    What's in this Warm Bean Dip Recipe?

    • Pinto Beans
    • Cream Cheese
    • Sour Cream
    • Salsa
    • Cheese
    • Spices

    So you can see why this is absolutely divine...

    Tastes like eating a bean burrito all in a yummy dip form. Yesss please.. 🙋‍♀️

    Can I serve this bean dip recipe cold?

    It can easily be served cold if that's your preference... Personally I'm a big fan of warm dips so I like to serve it warmed.

    And you can make it ahead and just warm it right before you're READY to serve it.

    What to serve with it.....

    • Tortilla chips
    • Gluten Free Crackers or bread
    • Avocado
    • Salsa
    • Fries

    You can also top it with optional ingredients such as....

    1. Tomatoes
    2. Olives
    3. Cilantro
    4. Extra Cheese
    5. Red Onion, or Green Onion

    I've also served this bean dip in a tortilla wrap which was super Yum and great as an easy tasty dinner or lunch.

    Recipe Tips for making Bean Dip:

    Drain and rinse the pinto beans prior to mashing or putting them in the food processor.

    You can always add a little bit of water if you want them creamier.

    Best served warm so if you need to heat it again you can also add a little water to make it creamier or get the desired consistency.

    Re-fried beans could be substituted but I like to control the texture of the dip by making my own.

      This dip looks so so good. I don't think I've ever met a dip that I didn't like, but especially one made with beans and cheese. I bet this would be perfect for game day, too!
