Ingredients
- 15 oz Black beans, canned
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ground cumin

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly under cold water.
In a food processor or blender, combine the black beans, softened cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the blended mixture into a medium-sized oven-safe dish or skillet.
Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the black bean mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly on top of the dip.
If using, sprinkle the diced jalapeño over the top for added heat.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired and serve warm with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.
