    This easy Cheesy Mexican Bean Dip can serve double duty as an appetizer or entree if served over cooked chicken, pork, and even hot dogs.

    Mexican Bean Dip with Cheese

    Cheesy Mexican Bean Dip is one of my all-time favorite recipes, and it takes only a few minutes to prepare on the stovetop. It's super cheesy, and the flavor is hearty with a mild heat. However, if you like it hotter, you can always ramp up the heat level with some sliced jalapenos or a splash (or 10) your favorite brand of hot sauce.

    As I mentioned above, this Easy Cheesy Mexican Bean Dip can serve double duty in a whole bunch of ways. For example, this dip recipe actually stemmed from the fact that I had way too much of the ground beef and bean dip leftover after I'd made these Southwestern Sloppy José Hot Dogs.

    Since I really liked the taste and consistency of the sloppy José hot dog beef and bean topping, I decided that this would also be a perfect bean dip if topped with lots and lots of cheese and then melted in the oven. And you know what? I was right!

    Easy Cheesy Mexican Bean Dip is a surefire winner, and it's a recipe you'll be proud to serve your friends and family this Cinco de Mayo! Olé!!

    Easy Cheesy Mexican Bean Dip for Cinco de Mayo

    The grocery list for making Cheesy Mexican Bean Dip is relatively short, and if you check your pantry and fridge you might have almost everything you need already in the house.

    The following is the list of ingredients: ground beef, onion, tomato paste, fire-roasted diced tomatoes (one can), fire-roasted green chiles (one can), black beans (one can), salt, pepper, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

    The step-by-step photo instructions:

    Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium/high heat. Stir in the tomato paste, salt, pepper, and the can of fire-roasted tomatoes.

    Add the can of black beans (drained and rinsed), the can of fire-roasted chiles, the smoked paprika, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine and heat through.

    Spoon the dip into an oven-safe casserole dish, sprinkle the shredded cheeses over top, and bake at 375 degrees until the cheese is completely melted. Serve hot with chips.
