Best Bean Dip No Cheese Food

THE BEST HOMEMADE BEAN DIP RECIPE

Steps:

• To make on the stovetop, soak the beans in cold water overnight.
• Then pour off the water and place the soaked beans in a large 6 quart sauce pot. Pour fresh water into the pot, covering the beans by 3-4 inches.
• Turn the heat to medium. Add the onion, garlic, and salt. Cover and simmer for 2-4 hours. *The older the dried beans are, the longer they will take to cook.
• You do not have to soak the beans if pressure cooking them. Place them in the Instant Pot, with the onions, garlic, salt, and 5 cups water.
• Set on Pressure Cook High for 35 minutes. Then preform a Natural Release. Once the steam button has dropped it is safe to open the lid. *If the beans are too firm, pressure cook for 5-10 more minutes, then perform a quick release.
• Once the beans are very soft, drain off the liquid and reserve for later use.
• Pour the beans into a large food processor. Add the pico de gallo and 1 cup of reserved liquid. Pulse until mostly smooth. Then add the shredded cheese and pulse a few more times to melt the cheese into the beans. If you like your bean dip to be looser, add another ¼ to ¾ cups of cooking liquid.
• Top with a fresh scoop of pico de gallo on top, and serve with tortilla chips or veggies.

EASY REFRIED BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Make the Instant Pot refried beans or Homemade Refried Beans, making sure they are warm before serving. If using canned beans, warm them on the stovetop in a saucepan and stir until creamy, adding a little water or broth if they are too thick. (If you make the refried beans in advance, reheat them on the stovetop.)
• Stir in the green chilis, lime juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and hot sauce. Taste and add additional kosher salt if necessary. (If you're using canned refried beans, you may want to add additional cumin or lime
• For the salsa fresca topping, dice the tomato. Finely chop the red onion. Chop the cilantro. In a small bowl, mix the tomato, red onion and cilantro with the lime juice, cumin, and kosher salt. If using, thinly slice the jalapeno pepper into rounds.
• To serve, place the dip into a shallow dish. Top with the salsa topping and thinly sliced jalapeno pepper. Serve with tortilla chips.

BEST BEAN DIP (NO CHEESE!)

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then saute the onion, garlic, and jalapeno until softened, about 5 minutes. (Tip: Add in a few of the jalapeno seeds if you want a spicier dip.)
• In a blender, add in the drained beans, cumin, salt, lime juice, and water. Add in the sauteed vegetables, then blend. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender, and blend until the dip is very smooth.
• You can serve the dip right away, or you can transfer it to a storage container with a lid (this makes about 1 1/2 cups) and store it in the fridge to chill. The flavors will meld and mellow slightly as the dip cools, and it will thicken up in texture.
• You can store this dip in the fridge for up to a week.
