Texas Trash Warm Bean Dip

I made this dip against my better judgement. I say that because it’s so hard to stop eating it–it’s totally addicting if you love creamy, cheesy, southwestern-style dips! You bake this in the oven and when it’s done, you dig in while it’s still warm with your favorite tortilla chips. And you may have to force yourself to stop! I added some chopped green chiles to a recipe I had found at Food.com and made it slightly different. All I can say is, wow–this dip is good! You need to try it sometime!

TEXAS TRASH WARM BEAN DIP by NancyC, adapted from Food.com

Makes a 9 x 13″ pan Texas Trash Warm Bean Dip2 @ NancyC

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
2 (16-ounce) cans refried beans
1 (1-ounce) package taco seasoning mix
2 cups shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese, divided
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Grease or spray a 9 x 13″ baking pan; set aside. In large bowl, blend softened cream cheese and sour cream. Add in green chiles, then mix in refried beans until combined. Stir in taco seasoning mix, blending everything well, then mix in 1/2 cup each of the Cheddar and Montery Jack cheeses (a total of 1 cup), blending into the mixture well. Spread mixture evenly into the bottom of the baking pan. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses (you’ll have a total of 3 cups of cheese to sprinkle on top). Bake at 350˚F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and slightly browned. Serve with tortilla chips.

Hi Nancy,

Being a Texan I can tell you this is Mexican Seven Layer Dip. Texas Trash is a mixture of Chex cereal both wheat and rice, cheerios, pretzels, peanuts, pecans, and whatever other “trash” you want to add, mixed with melted butter with chili powder, cayenne powder, garlic powder, Worchester and optional Tabasco. You bake the mixture one to two hours on 250 degrees, stirring it carefully every 15 minutes. Now THAT is Texas Trash!!!!

  Here in Cali the seven layer dip is seven layers, hence the name, SEVEN Layer Dip, at my count this has just two, the bean mixture and the cheese. What you call Texas Trash we call Chex Mix Party Mix.

Any tips on how to keep this warm once out of the oven? I wonder if it could be made in a crock pot? Thoughts?

  This probably could work in a slow cooker; I’m just not sure how long you would need to slow cook it! Otherwise, if you need to keep it warm before serving, you could just keep it in the oven on the “warm” setting until you’re ready to serve it.

I have one question…How long can this cheese dip sit out before it gets hard and can it be reheated ?

  You probably wouldn’t want to wait any longer than 20-30 minutes to serve it after removing from the oven. Yes, you can reheat it, or just keep it in the oven on the “warm” setting until you’re ready to serve it!

    I like to prepare this in four smaller baking dishes and take them out of the oven one at a time and serve. That way the dip stays warm in the oven until ready to serve.
    
    When I serve this at a large gathering it goes so quickly that I don’t have to worry about it getting hard. It literally disappears within minutes.

I love this recipe. I am thinking about adding black olive slices and maybe green onion to garnish. Thoughts? I bet this would make killer enchiladas as the filling!!!

We LOVED this dip. The best Mexican dip I have ever made

I chopped up some fresh jalapeño rather than the can of green chilies.

I had some green onions on hand so I snipped them and sprinkled on top after I took it out of the oven.
