Bean Dip

Time for a little Christmas Magic! My brother and I used to love that bean dip that came in the little cans. We pigged out on it all the time with Doritos. I wanted to make some for Christmas this year and began looking around for the recipe. Turns out, I didn't have to look farther than my favorite cookbook author, Todd Wilbur! His version is spot on and takes me straight back to my childhood. Also, it is sooooo easy!  I doubled the recipe for a crowd and I did teak the number of jalapeno slices...cause mine were tiny!

 

Look at those spices! Yummmmmm!

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained
4 canned jalapeno slices, plus 1 tablespoon jalapeno juice  (I doubled the recipe and used about 1/4 cup of the slices)

1/2 teaspoon salt  

1/2 teaspoon sugar  

1/4 teaspoon onion powder  

1/4 teaspoon paprika  

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder  

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor.
2. Puree on high speed until smooth.
3. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

That's it! Now you have the tastiest bean dip around. I have also tried this with great northern beans...omg it is absolutely amazing! So if you want a white bean dip, you can use those. I believe you could use any type of bean and it would turn out great. Chick Peas with this make a great hummus!
