Bean Dip

Bean Dip is a great thing to make for a party, to take to a friend’s house, or just to enjoy on your own. As I was making this bean dip, I was thinking about how important each layer is to create the overall taste.  Yes, analyzing a bean dip. Seems a little weird. But when you are making food for other people to join in and fellowship together while eating, you really think about how much more there is to it. Food brings people together. And people have all sorts of stories, all sorts of characteristics, all sorts of “layers” that takes time and investment getting to know them. And each layer is important. It is a part of who they are, where they came from, or how they have grown. Taking out one layer or one part of the story may leave a piece missing.

So here’s the bean dip recipe:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Put all ingredients in a 9×13 pan in this order (smooth out to make flat layers)

  1. 2 small/ 1 big can of refried beans
  2. Mix together 1/2 cup of mayo and 1/2 cup of sour cream
  3. 3.1 small can of diced green chiles
  4. 1/2 cup of salsa
  5. 2-3 cups of cheddar cheese
  6. Olives on top (optional)

Cook for 30 minutes and enjoy with a bag of tortilla chips!
