How to make Black Bean Dip (Easy Party Recipe)

Unexpected company? Having the buddies over for the game? This simple and delicious recipe will have them asking for more!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 15-16 oz can black beans
• 1 Tablespoon Sour Cream
• 1/2 c. cheddar or colby jack cheese, shredded
• Spices (suggest black pepper, chili powder, onion powder, and salt)
• Tortilla chips (optional)

1. Open the can of beans and drain the excess liquid. Place the beans in a small sauce pan on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.

2. When the beans are warm, add the sour cream. Stir. Add the cheese. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

3. Add spices to taste. Serve warm with tortilla chips or use for burrito or enchilada stuffing.

Tips & Warnings

• For a low-fat alternative, use non-fat sour cream and part-skim mozzarella cheese.
• For a tex-mex variation, add McCormick's Grill Mates BBQ seasoning. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
• If you plan to serve the beans in a keep-warm dish, add an extra tablespoon of sour cream to keep the dip from getting too thick.
• It is essential to stir the beans while they are cooking to avoid burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan.
