Ingredients

  • 1 30 oz can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 4 oz can chopped green chilies
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 cup shredded Quesadilla Mexican Cheese Pepper Jack Cheese OR Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Chips and bread for dipping

Instructions

  • In a 4 quart slow cooker combine the beans, water, green chilies, onion, chili powder, oregano and cumin. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 1/2 hours.
  • Remove lid and smash the beans with a potato masher until desired consistency. (mine was a little chunky, which is how we like it) If you like it ultra smooth you may need to remove the bean dip from the slow cooker and use a food processor with a little water.
  • Sprinkle with cheese and place lid back on to let the cheese melt. Turn off slow cooker and enjoy with chips and bread of choice.
