Tex-Mex Bean Dip
I came up with this recipe using pantry staples because I had guests on the way and it was a hit! I served it room temp the first time and it was great. Then a few days later it was requested again and I served it as a hot dip topped with cheese! It would also make a great lo-cal base for taco dip instead of the traditional cream cheese base!!
