4 Reviews of Hot Cheddar Bean Dip

I used Luck's pinto beans and did not drain them as they were mushy. I put most of the can in my food processor and processed till fairly smooth. Placed them in a bowl and stirred in the rest of the can of beans. I did this just to have a few chunks for texture. Other ingredients were added as per the recipe, using mild cheddar cheese. DH had slices of jalapenos with his. This is a very good bean dip, not unlike the store bought kind, but much better, fresher tasting! The chiles really give it a good flavor. You can't go wrong with this dip. The great thing about this recipe is that you can adjust the hot sauce and the cheesiness to your taste! DH and I really enjoyed this! Thanks flower7!

This is my go-to bean dip and has been for years. Today we had it with tortilla chips for a quite-filling-enough lunch. It's so adaptable; I've used black beans along with the pinto beans, and Monterey Jack cheese instead of cheddar, etc. I usually put the beans into a large bowl and use a potato masher to break them down, which still leaves a nice amount of texture to them. I can't remember a single time over the years that this dip didn't fly out of the dish...it's that wonderful!

I really enjoyed this. The mayonnaise was an ingredient that I don't remember seeing in other bean dip recipes. It added a nice smoothness. I used a fresh Anaheim chile (the 4 oz size seemed to refer to canned) and I liked what it brought to the dish - I would definitely recommend it. I made this for supper one night, and DH complained about that use (due to lack of meat) - I found it satisfying and filling. I will definitely use this recipe for a gathering as an appetizer. I really liked it with Tostitos gold tortilla chips, but it is not so heavy that a thinner chip wouldn't work just fine.
