We love bean dip and I've made it for years...originally a can of Frito-Lays bean dip that you find on the chip isle. Putting the dip into a bowl and adding 2 T mayonnaise and mixing well-yum. But not very healthy. Lately, I've taken a can of fat free refried beans, 1 T light mayo & half a package of taco seasoning mix-blend well & serve with tortilla chips, baby carrots or celery. Pretty tasty, too. I hadn't thought about heating the bean dip-I'm going to try your recipe real soon. It sounds amazing-thanks, Martha

Wonderful and filling dip! I garnished it with chopped pickled jalapenos, tomato and green onion, put it out for a family gathering and it was gone in no time. lol My 84 yr old mom lives with me and she loves adding 1/4 tsp cumin. Thanks, Martha, for another great recipe!
