Jenni's Hot Bean Dip

Ingredients

  • 1 8 oz. block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 15 oz. can refried beans
  • ½ packet taco seasoning--about 1½ T.
  • 1 10 oz. can diced tomatoes and chilies, drained
  • 1 8 oz. package shredded cheese--Mexican blend or cheddar
  • avocado, salsa, sour cream, cilantro, jalapenos, lime wedges--all optional for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Spread the softened cream cheese in the bottom of an 8"x8" baking dish, pie plate, or cast iron skillet. Mix the refried beans with the drained tomatoes, taco seasoning, and half the cheese. Spread over the cream cheese. Top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. Serve warm with tortilla chips.
  • This dip great if you freeze it before baking. Assemble it, cover it with plastic wrap and wrap the entire baking pan in aluminun foil. Freeze until needed. You can thaw overnight or cook from frozen. If you're cooking it straight from the freezer, that's okay, but the cook time will be longer.
  • Garnish as you like and serve!
