This revitalized version of our classic bean dip is quick, fuss-free, and oh-so-creamy. Everything comes together in one bowl and then into your baking dish for a hot, bubbling finish!

Follow these simple tips for a perfectly smooth dip:

  1. Whisk the very soft cream cheese and sour cream together until completely smooth using an electric mixer.
  2. Add in your blend of spices and whisk until uniformly mixed.
  3. Fold in the refried beans, then stir in half of your shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses along with the green onions.

Evenly spread your dip in an 8×8-inch baking dish. Give it a final flourish with extra cheese on top then slide it into the oven until it’s bubbling and gold.

It’s that simple! You can also use any oven-safe dish – oval, circular, or rectangular – as long as it fits right in your oven.

You can also keep the dip warm in a small slow cooker if you’re serving it buffet-style.

Make-Ahead and Serving Ideas

Enjoy this sumptuous cheesy bean dip with your favorite tortilla or corn chips.

For busy days, assemble the dip ahead of time, cover it, and refrigerate until ready to bake. It holds up for several days and even reheats fabulously!

Customize It Your Way! Try adding cooked ground beef, shredded chicken, a spoonful of salsa, green chiles, or even swapping to black refried beans for a twist.

Special Tip: Just before serving, squeeze a little fresh lime juice over the top—it really brightens the flavor and adds a zesty kick!
