Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 (16 oz) can refried beans
- 1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning mix
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
- 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
- 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies, drained
- Optional toppings: Sliced green onions, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, jalapeño slices
Instructions
Preparation
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish (about 8×8 inches).
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, refried beans, and taco seasoning packet. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Step 3: Add 1 cup of the Mexican blend cheese, the Pepper Jack cheese, and drained green chilies to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Step 4: Spread the dip mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Make sure it’s level for even baking.
- Step 5: Top the mixture with the remaining cup of Mexican blend cheese, spreading it out to cover the dip.
- Step 6: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Look for the cheese to melt and turn slightly golden, with the dip hot and bubbly.
- Step 7: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven. If desired, garnish with toppings like sliced green onions, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, or jalapeño slices for an extra burst of flavor and color.
Notes
COOKING Note
- Consistency: For a smoother texture, make sure the cream cheese is well-softened before mixing. This will help blend the ingredients evenly.
- Baking Dish Size: An 8×8-inch baking dish works well, but any similar-sized dish will do. A deeper dish may require a few extra minutes of baking time.
- Serving Warm: This dip is best served warm to keep the cheese gooey and delicious. You can reheat leftovers in the oven or microwave as needed.
