Bean Dip is a party classic and this is the best way we know how to make it. Packed with cream cheese, sour cream, and a layer of melty cheese on top for good measure, it’s about so much more than the beans. It’s a little bit zesty, very creamy and full of flavor. In other words, it’s the kind of dip you’re hesitant to step away from at a party because you’re pretty sure it’ll be all gobbled up when you return.

And more good news? All you have to do to make this is stir a few ingredients together and pop it in the oven. Since you’re using a pre-shredded blend of cheese, you don’t have to grate anything (or chop anything else for that matter).

You’re looking at a can of refried beans, some cream cheese, sour cream, a packet of taco seasoning, a bit of salsa, and some Mexican cheese blend. Stir. Put in baking dish. Pop in oven. That’s it! Then get to dipping. It’s incredibly easy and it’s always, always a hit.
