This colorful, crowd-pleasing dip is full of flavor, remarks Darnele West of Lancaster, South Carolina. A cousin made it for a family get-together, and we finished off every bite! Ingredients:
6 bacon strips |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained, rinsed and mashed |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese |
2/3 cup picante sauce |
1/3 cup sliced green onions |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
chopped sweet red or yellow pepper, optional |
minced fresh cilantro, optional |
fresh vegetables or tortilla chips |
Directions:
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside. In the drippings, saute garlic for 1-2 minutes. Stir in beans, cheese, picante sauce, onions and cumin; mix well. Cook over low heat until cheese is melted, stirring occasionally. Stir in bacon. Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with peppers and cilantro if desired. Serve with vegetables or chips. Yield: 2-1/2 cups. |
