Bean Dip FAQs
What kind of cheese do you use in bean dip?
We like using pre shredded mexican cheese, but you can also use freshly grated colby jack or monterey jack cheese.
How do I tell when the dip is done?
You will know it’s done when it is all hot and bubbly and the cheese is totally melted. It should take around 1 to 1.5 hours to cook.
How do I store bean dip?
Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Serve as a stand alone with tortilla chips, and use up the leftovers for any of your favorite mexican night favorite dishes!
