• Refried Beans: Canned refried beans add flavour and texture to the dip.
• Cheddar Cheese: Shredded cheddar cheese makes it super cheesy and addictive.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2. Mix: Add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning to a large bowl, and mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Fold in the refried beans with a rubber spatula, and then 1 cup of cheddar cheese.

Step 3. Bake: Transfer the dip to a small baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Bake on the middle rack uncovered for 25-30 minutes.

Kitchen Equipment

• Mixing Bowl: For making the dip.
• Electric Hand Mixer: For mixing.
• Can Opener: This is for opening the canned refried beans.
• Cheese Grater: For shredding the cheese.
• Masuring Cups and Spoons: These are used to measure the ingredients.
• Baking Dish: 8x8 or other small baking dish.

Storage and Leftovers

Store any leftovers covered in plastic wrap or tin foil (once cooled) in the fridge for up to 1 week. Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave uncovered or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Alternative Ingredients

• Salsa: Add some salsa or Rotel for extra flavour.
• Tex-Mex Cheese: Switch up the cheese with a variety of typical Mexican cheeses like Tex-Mex.
• Hot Sauce: Add a little heat to the dip by mixing in your choice of hot sauce.

Helpful Tips

• Use softened cream cheese. If the cream cheese is cold and not at room temperature, it will be challenging to mix and cause clumps in the dip. It's never too late to soften cream cheese, and you can learn how to easily soften cream cheese in various ways!
• Bake uncovered. This will ensure the cheese properly melts and gets crispy and golden on the edges.
