I would truly consider this bean dip one of my favorite foods. When I lived in Arizona, I often went to two amazing Mexican restaurants that served warm cheesy refried bean dip alongside their fresh salsa—it was incredible, to say the least! Unfortunately, I no longer live there so I had to figure out how to make it on my own.
Cheesy Refried Bean Dip
This is the perfect party snack for the upcoming Super Bowl. Make this and no one is going to care who wins. When I make this, I often serve it along with fresh salsa, fresh guacamole, and sour cream. They all accompany each other perfectly. This bean dip is SO easy to prepare; it just takes a little while to fully cook so make sure you plan ahead. I also use this same recipe to make refried beans, just decrease the reserved water added to the blender to 1 1/4 cups for slightly thicker refried beans. I love refried beans served alongside Shredded Beef Tacos and Chicken Enchiladas with Green Sauce. This bean dip can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week, and reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave (I usually add a bit of water when I reheat it because it seems to thicken a bit once refrigerated). I even use this recipe to make my own frozen bean and cheese burritos, again slightly decreasing the water added and layering on more cheese.
