Ingredients

1 16-oz can refried beans
1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese divided
2 oz cream cheese softened
2 jalapeños minced with seeds
1 tablespoon hot sauce use your favorite
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
tortilla chips
Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, chopped tomatoes, queso fresco, or green onions

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl mix together the refried beans, ½ cup of pepper jack cheese, the softened cream cheese, minced jalapeños, hot sauce, and spices.
Spread the dip into an 8-inch cast iron skillet or small baking dish.
Top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and top with your favorite toppings and chips.

Notes

Adjust the heat: Remove the jalapeño seeds for a milder dip or add extra hot sauce for more spice.

Soften the Cream Cheese: Cold cream cheese won’t mix smoothly. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds to soften.

Make ahead: Prep everything together up to a day in advance, then bake right before serving.
