Super Cheesy Bean Dip

By Bob on January 25, 2017 8:16 AM

I've been a fan of football and bean dip for as long as I can remember. Over the years I've supported only one pro team (GO COWBOYS!) but I've experimented with dozens of different bean dip recipes. Some are too hot, some are too bland, some are too much work, but all had the gotta-have-another-scoop taste that makes a good bean dip great.

Kinda makes your mouth water, don't it

My years of bean-experimentation came together in this super easy, super cheesy bean dip recipe. It has just the right amount of heat, a satisfying cheesy texture that hangs on to a good tortilla chip and it's EASY.

Mix up a batch about 2 hours before the big game - turn on your crockpot -- and walk away. It'll be ready by kickoff.

Prepare your own Mexican quick fix with this Chipotle-inspired bowl. Carbs are moderated by filling the bowl with beans, extra veggies and chicken. No need for rice, since the beans count as carbs.

Tips:

If you love tomatoes, increase the quantity to 1/2 cup, but note that the carbohydrates will also increase.

If preparing this recipe for one person, cut all of the ingredients in half. Or simply prepare the full recipe up to the end of step 2 and store leftover chicken and vegetable-bean mixture in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave on High for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through, and continue with step 3.

Health Bite: The iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper and zinc in black beans help to keep bones strong and healthy.
