You guys are going to LOVE this Best Ever Layered Bean Dip recipe so much. It is seriously one of my favorites and it was a total accident. It kind of makes me feel bad when my best recipes come about by pure chance rather than my awesome skills.
So here is the story: Our good friends were having a get together and invited us. I thought I would have plenty of time to throw something together to bring to the party. There is a lot of pressure being a food blogger. People expect the food you bring to be out of this world amazing. And I sure try to live up to that.
Well, things got crazy, as usual, and even though I thought I had tons of time, I looked at the clock a I had a whopping 30 minutes before the party.
I quickly ran to the fridge and started pulling out ingredients. I had some ground turkey and some corn salsa. Some black beans and I had cheese. I had sour cream. And I knew that meant I had the makings of a dip. I rummaged through the pantry, and found refried beans, and knew I was making bean dip.
So, now I had like 27 minutes. Luckily I live only a few minutes from my friend, so I knew if I worked quickly I could arrive, with a warm and cheesy dip in hand, and still be on time. So I layered quickly, and tossed it in the oven on a low heat while I quickly got myself ready.
And then we went. And I worried. Would everyone like my dip? Would it even taste good? You can’t exactly test a layered bean dip before serving it…I mean, it would leave a big hole. So I crossed my fingers, and set Best Ever Layered Bean Dip on the buffet.
And the next time I turned around, it was gone. Literally. Everyone ate it. It got demolished. And was really a hit.
A few weeks later we got invited to something else, and this bean dip was requested. I think I have made it a dozen times since. Everyone loves this amazing bean dip. And I can’t say I blame them.
So excuse me while I go dig in. Or better yet, join me!
Tips for Best Ever Layered Bean Dip:
- Use seasoned black beans. Trust me on this one, and don’t bother draining them. It makes it a little runnier, but it is so good.
- Season your ground turkey while you cook, and drain off any grease. You don’t want a greasy dip. If you want to swap it out for ground beef you can. Just be sure to dump off the grease.
- Let it warm through. This will make it melty and gooey, and oh so delicious, and allow the flavors to meld together to perfection. Trust me, give it time.
- I used my because I love that it can go from the oven to the fridge, and even into the microwave. It also comes with a lid which made it easy to transport to my party.
- Eat with chips!
