Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Refried beans
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 oz Diced green chilies (optional)
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the refried beans, cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning. Use a hand mixer or spoon to mix until smooth and well combined.
Fold in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and the diced green chilies, if using.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish (8x8 inches or similar). Spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese on top of the bean mixture.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired, and serve hot with tortilla chips, pita chips, or sliced veggies for dipping.
