Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 16 ounce cans refried beans
  • 1 4.5 ounce can chopped green chiles, drained
  • 1 1.25 ounce package McCormick Taco Seasoning Mix

Cheese

  • 4 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided

To Serve

  • Tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the dip.
  2. Soften cream cheese and sour cream: In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave the cream cheese and sour cream together on HIGH for 1 minute until softened for easy mixing.
  3. Mix cream cheese and sour cream: Stir the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base.
  4. Add beans and seasonings: Incorporate the refried beans, chopped green chiles, taco seasoning mix, and 2 cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese into the creamy base. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly distributed.
  5. Prepare baking dish: Grease a 13×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Then spread the dip mixture evenly into the dish.
  6. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the top of the dip mixture to create a cheesy layer.
  7. Bake the dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy your Texas Trash Dip!

Notes

  • For extra heat, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.
  • You can substitute canned black beans for refried beans for a different texture.
  • Use a non-dairy cream cheese and sour cream to make the dip dairy-free.
  • Make this dip a day ahead and refrigerate, then bake just before serving to enhance flavor melding.
  • Pair with a variety of dippers like sliced bell peppers, celery sticks, or crackers for a versatile appetizer.
