Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 32 ounces refried beans
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (about 1 packet, if using store-bought)
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the softened cream cheese, refried beans, salsa, taco seasoning, and grated sharp cheddar cheese. Stir continuously to mix all ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the cream cheese melts and the cheese begins to blend for about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Simmer and Warm: After the ingredients are well combined, lower the heat to a simmer to keep the dip warm. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning, then transfer the dip to a serving bowl when ready to serve.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer, creamier dip.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, add extra salsa or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- The dip can be made ahead and reheated gently on the stovetop or in a microwave.
- Serve with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or warm pita bread for dipping.
- For a thicker dip, reduce the salsa or add more cheese.
