Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Refried beans
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 10 oz Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chiles)
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- Chips (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, add the refried beans, cream cheese, and milk.
Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the beans. This should take about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low, then add in the shredded cheddar cheese one cup at a time, stirring until melted after each addition.
Once the cheese is melted, stir in the Rotel (including its juices), garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Continue to cook over low heat for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dip is smooth and creamy.
Chop the green onions into thin slices and stir them into the dip, reserving a few slices for garnish.
Remove the dip from heat and transfer it to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the reserved green onions and optional fresh cilantro for garnish.
Serve warm with chips, fresh veggies, or crusty bread for dipping.
