Foodie Friday - Bean Dip!

For Foodie Friday I am sharing a recipe that it a Family Favorite - Nacho Bean Dip.
Thank you Gollum for hosting Foodie Friday at Designs by Gollum!
Photobucket

I admit it doesn't sound that exciting and it doesn't photograph that well, but it is my two girl's favorite food of all times. I first had this in the early 80's when I friend brought it to a potluck. She shared the recipe, which she got out of Southern Living, with me. When we moved to the town we currently live in, I carried it to a party and was surprised that no one had ever had it before. One of the product used in the original recipe (a bean dip) was discontinued and I started substituting canned refried beans for it. If anything, it improved the recipe. I put the modified recipe in my church cookbook in the early 90's and it has become something I am locally "famous" for ever since.

It is requested by my daughters and their friends at all their gatherings. One friend calls it the "Life Changing Bean Dip." They have even tagged it on Facebook!!!!

OK, here are 2 pictures. I am warning you, that it isn't pretty.

One of my online friends photographed it and added a layer of salsa on top to make it more photogenic! Here is her picture:

The recipe is on Recipezaar. (I promise I am not a shill for them, I have just been a member for years and have my recipes there and have tried and photograped lots of recipes for events. It's fun!)

    I'm so going to make this. I've already printed out the recipe. I'm kind of famous (in my small circle of family & friends) for my salsa (I just used the recipe that came with the salsa maker at the fair), so the dip would be a great companion to my salsa. Thanks!

    And, of all silly things, my husband.

    Thanks for the recipe, looks great!

    I tried this recipe last night and my son and I enjoyed it. I used it as a topping to my nachos and my son used it as a stuffing for his burritos.

    Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope if you like lace chargers that you get some. I just thought they were very pretty and very affordable. It would be fun to see all the gorgeous tablescapes with them just like the Target bird salt and peppers. Neat fun. Hugs, Marty

    Jewel,
    I want to make your bean dip! It looks fabulous and the southern living recipes are so good. I just started getting it and I have to say it is better than Midwest Living. Have a great week-end, Cindy

Thank you so much for all your comments! I really do treasure them all. If I don't respond to all of them immediately, it is because I work full time and share a computer at home. Thanks again!!!
