This Cheesy Refried Bean Dip is a warm, flavorful appetizer perfect for parties and gatherings. Creamy refried beans are mixed with tangy sour cream, zesty taco seasoning, and sharp cheddar cheese, then baked until bubbly and golden. Topped with fresh green onions, it’s an irresistible crowd-pleaser that pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.

Ingredients

Scale

Bean Dip

  • 2 cans refried beans (about 15 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz) taco seasoning
  • 8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

Garnish

  • Green onions, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400˚F (204˚C) to prepare for baking the dip until hot and bubbly.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the refried beans, sour cream, taco seasoning, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well to evenly distribute all flavors.
  3. Prepare for baking: Spread the bean mixture evenly in a pie plate or a medium-sized casserole dish, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  4. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the bean mixture to create a cheesy crust.
  5. Bake the dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and the dip is heated through.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh, mild onion flavor, and serve warm with tortilla chips or your favorite dippers.

Notes

  • You can customize the dip by adding diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce for extra heat.
  • For a smoother dip, blend the refried beans before mixing.
  • Use reduced-fat cheese or sour cream for a lighter version.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
  • Great served with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced vegetables.
