Round 2 Recipe Three Layer Bean Dip

Steps:

• Combine drained and rinsed beans, undrained beans, yogurt, chile garlic sauce, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth while drizzling in a bit of olive oil to help the process along and to get the desired thickness.
• Pour the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a dollop of chile sauce in the center. Serve with nut crackers, pita chips or any dippables.

Steps:

• 1. Spread the refried beans into the bottom of a 9 x 13 cake pan. Layer the garbanzo beans next.
• 2. Sprinkle the chili powder and cumin on top. Next, layer the black beans, then the red onion and bell pepper.
• 3. Layer the sour cream next. Add the salsa on top of that. Next, layer the cheddar cheese. Sprinkle some black pepper on top of the cheese.
• 4. Sprinkle the diced tomatoes and green onion on top. Serve with tortilla chips or Fritos.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the beans and 1/4 cup water. Add all the remaining ingredients, except the olive oil, and pulse until smooth. Slowly pour in the olive oil with machine running and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and serve with pita chips or crackers.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor combine the white beans, spinach, garlic, cumin and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and pulse until almost smooth. With the machine running, drizzle in the olive oil until completely incorporated. If the consistency is too thick add a couple of tablespoons of warm water.
• Cut the pita pockets into quarters and toast. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and serve with the pita.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix sour cream, cream cheese, and taco seasoning mix together in a bowl.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef with the cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Spread refried beans into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer ground beef mixture over refried beans, lightly pressing beef into beans; top with sour cream mixture.
• Stir salsa and salsa con queso together in a bowl; pour over sour cream mixture layer. Spread Mexican cheese blend, tomato, olives, and green onions, respectively, over sour cream mixture layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbling, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients; transfer to a 1-1/2-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or until heated through, stirring once or twice. Serve with tortilla chips and salsa.

Steps:

• Spread the refried beans in a layer in the bottom of a 9 inch square baking dish. In a small bowl, stir together the taco seasoning mix and cream cheese. Spread the mixture over the refried beans. In a separate bowl, toss together the tomatoes, green onions, cubanella pepper, black beans and navy beans. Spread over the layer of cream cheese. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to blend the flavors.
