Ingredients
- 1 pound cooked beans (kidney, black, and pinto)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese or Mexican mix
Directions
- Purée beans in a food processor. Add cream cheese, salsa, and shredded cheese. Pulse until well-combined. Serve chilled with chips.
- For warm bean dip, mix beans (puréed or whole), cream cheese, and salsa in a bowl. Transfer to a heavy oven-safe skillet and top with shredded cheese. Bake at 425 F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Try this easy cream cheese bean dip. This cheesy homemade bean dip can be whipped up in minutes and enjoyed cold, or thrown into the oven and served hot.
Feel free to swap out my suggested types of beans for whatever you like. Serve with chips or as a topping for baked potatoes.
