Dips are fun to serve at parties, potlucks, and other get-togethers. They usually serve many and can be kept warm in a slow cooker if needed. They range from creamy dips such as the classic spinach artichoke dip to more vegetable-based dips such as cowboy caviar. They can also be served hot or cold and with a variety of crackers, vegetables, and chips. You can get creative and make your own fun creations.
Our creamy fiesta bean dip is loaded with flavor. We season ground beef with our chili seasoning to create a fun taco flavor then mix it with refried beans, cream cheese, and sour cream, and top it with shredded cheese. This creates a fun easy-to-serve dip for parties like football or basketball watch parties, potlucks, and more. It can also be served for your Taco Tuesday nights alongside your favorite taco dishes.
Cooking the Taco Meat
In a small skillet brown 1 pound of ground beef. You can use venison, bison, or ground turkey if you wish. You can also add in some diced onion for more flavor.
Add in 2 ½ tablespoons of Chugwater Chili Seasoning. If you wish it to be spicier you can use the Chugwater Chili Hot Chili Seasoning instead.
Note: If you want to make this more vegetarian friendly you can leave the meat out but you will want to add 2 tablespoons of the chili seasoning into the bean mixture.
Making the Bean Dip
In a medium bowl combine the seasoned ground beef, a 16-ounce can of refried beans, 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, ½ tablespoon Chugwater Chili Seasoning, 1 cup of sour cream, and a 4-ounce can of mild diced green chilies. Stir until well combined.
Cooking the Bean Dip
Baking Option
Add the bean mixture to a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
Pull from the oven and add 3 cups of shredded fiesta cheese to the top and bake until the cheese has melted and the bean dip is bubbling at the edges.
Slow Cooker Option
Add the bean mixture to the slow cooker. You can use a slow cooker liner to help with clean up if you wish. Add the shredded cheese to the top and cook on low for 5 hours or high for 3 hours or until the bean dip starts bubbling on the edges.
