Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Dish
- Oven
Ingredients
Base Mixture
- 1 can refried beans 16 oz, any brand works great
- 1 cup sour cream preferably full-fat for best texture
- 1 packet taco seasoning use mild if needed
- 0.5 cup cream cheese softened
Cheese & Add-ins
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded, divided
- 1/4 cup diced jalapeños optional, for some heat
- Fritos corn chips for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Let cream cheese soften on the counter for easier mixing.
- In a medium bowl, combine refried beans, sour cream, softened cream cheese, and taco seasoning. Stir until fully blended and smooth.
- Mix in half of the shredded cheddar cheese to ensure every scoop is cheesy.
- Fold in diced jalapeños if using, for an added spicy kick.
- Transfer mixture to a baking dish (9x9 inch works well). Sprinkle remaining cheddar evenly over the top.
- Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling.
- Remove from oven carefully and allow to cool slightly before serving with Fritos or chips of choice.
Notes
Customize it your way – skip the jalapeños for a milder version or try different cheeses for fun flavor twists.
