Ever need a good dip recipe for a party? Try this one! I actually make this as a side dish with many of the Mexican dishes that I make. My husband doesn’t like beans, but he likes this bean dip! And it’s easy with only 4 simple ingredients and baked to perfection. Serve with tortilla chips or baked quesadillas.

Cheesy Bean Dip
Ingredients
- 1 16 oz. can refried beans
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 16 oz. jar salsa (you don’t need to use that much, so if you have a partial jar, use it!)
- 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or Monterrey jack or something similar)
- tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- Spread beans in a 9x9 glass baking dish.
- Top with cream cheese. To make it easy, I usually microwave it for 20-30 seconds before hand and then just “slice” it into pieces and lay the pieces on top of the beans. No need to be exact – it’ll melt and spread in the oven.
- Dump salsa on top. You don’t need to use a whole jar if it looks like too much salsa. I’m not very precise when it comes to this recipe.
- Top with shredded cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes so that the cheese is totally melty.
- Serve with chips!
