Touchdown Bean Dip

Pin It

For years now, this awesome bean dip has been joining us on the couch for football Sundays. It seems to be a real crowd-pleaser. I really love the combo of refried beans and black beans. I finally got around to sharing it with you since... oh yes, it's Super Bowl time! It comes together pretty quick but you could also prepare it ahead of time (through all steps except heating in the oven). Then just cover, refrigerate, and pop in the oven when you're ready, leaving no hassle come game time.

Ingredients

15 oz. can vegetarian refried beans

15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 small onion (or 1/2 large)

1 1/2 tsp. cumin
Salt to taste
Tortilla chips for dipping
Optional toppings: tomatoes, green onion, olives, etc.

Preheat oven to 350.

Dice onion and mince garlic. In a saucepan over medium-high, saute onions, garlic, cumin, and salt for about 8 minutes or until softened.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Add refried beans and black beans. Stir with spatula to combine, and heat for a few minutes until refried beans soften.

Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Top with diced tomatoes, green onions, or other toppings of choice. Serve with tortilla chips.
