Layered Black Bean Dip

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD MAKE THIS WITH FRESH BEANS AND DICED TOMATOES AND NOT CANNED?

Great dip!! Served it serveral times this summer. I use two 8 oz. packages of cream cheese blended with half packet of taco seasoning. Top with 1 can drained black beans and drained Rotel. Make sure you drain these well before adding.

This tasted much better than I thought it would. I used whipped cream cheese and added taco seasoning to it. I made two pans of it along with Tostito's Scoops for a gathering and let's just say there was none left! Will most certainly make again!

I made this for a work party and it was such a hit! Everyone asked for the recipe. I added a little taco seasoning and a little juice from the rotel tomatoes to the cream cheese--Delicious!!! This will definitely be added to my appetizer rotation!!!

A family favorite!

Ah-MAY-zing! Absolutely fantastic! I was dead set against eating this because I hate beans, and the idea of eating them cold made it even worse...but one bite and I've never looked back! Everybody who's tried this just devours it, even the skeptics like me! I follow the recipe exactly, just use more shredded cheese. I usually make this in a disposable pie tin with a lid for parties, or I make it in two disposable loaf pans for individual servings at home (just split the recipe in two and use half in each pan). I also serve it with Frito Scoops chips, those are definitely the best flavor for this recipe. You will NOT be disappointed! And seriously...it takes 5 minutes to make. Trust me, I have a hard time boiling water and even I can do this! ;-)

I mixed everything together and added taco seasoning. It was a hit!!!

Made this appetizer for the first time and took it to a holiday cookout. The only problem was that everyone loved it so I should have made a double/triple batch! Thanks, Kraft :)

This recipe is even better when you combine the rinsed black beans with Rotel (HOT) and make that a layer together. Go all the way to the edge of your dish. Top with plenty of cheese. Then BAKE it in the over at 350. It'll disappear in no time. Frito scoops are best for the chips.

I've been making this for years. I add a package of Taco seasoning to the cream cheese and thin it out with sour cream. Mix well (I use a hand blender) then add the other toppings. I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned and I add shreded lettuce also. Very yummy.
