Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 32 oz refried beans one large can or two smaller cans, smooth, not chunky
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream full fat gives the creamiest texture
  • 1 packet taco seasoning or 2–3 tablespoons homemade taco mix
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese sharp cheddar gives a nice flavor punch
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese for great melt and stretch

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the refried beans, softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning.
  3. Stir vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and evenly seasoned.
  4. Spoon the bean mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the top, then follow with the Monterey Jack so the cheeses cover the surface.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the cheese is thoroughly melted, bubbling, and starting to turn light golden on top.
  2. Let the dip rest 3–5 minutes before serving so it firms slightly and is easier to scoop.
