Super Bowl bean dip

Thursday, February 9, 2012
This recipe is really something that I only find myself making once a year, if that.  I really like this dip, but it only ever gets made when I go to Super Bowl parties.  I don't know if it is because it was during a Super Bowl that I first encountered it, or if even I can't convince myself that dip is an acceptable meal replacement.  Nevertheless, I made some this past Sunday to bring with me to a gathering at a friend's house.  It disappeared almost immediately with rave reviews.

Apologies for the gross cell phone picture.  I put off making the dip until the last minute and subsequently rushed around.  I missed kick-off.

Super Bowl Bean Dip

  • 8oz cream cheese
  • 1 can of refried beans
  • 1 jar of salsa
  • bag of shredded cheese (I use "Mexican Blend")
1. Preheat oven to 350.  In a 9x13 glass pan, spread cream cheese over the entire bottom until even and smooth.
2. Drain can of refried beans and spread over cream cheese in the pan.
3. Over beans, pour and spread salsa.
4. Sprinkle shredded cheese over salsa and place in the oven.
5. Heat until the cheese has melted and the dip is warm throughout.  Serve with tortilla chips.
