How to Make
Start with making the black beans into a delicious concoction of refried beans (of course you can facilitate this step if you would like by just buying a can of already made refried beans).
I added a few extras to spice these black beans up some…some chipotle peppers, garlic,chopped jalapeno pepper and fresh cilantro.
Then it’s just a matter of mixing the caramelized onions, sour cream, mayonnaise, bacon and the pepper jack cheese.
Then add the layer of refried beans to a oven proof skillet (or small casserole) and top the beans with the onion bacon cheese mixture. It’s now ready for the oven!
After 15 minutes, you end up with this delicious cheesey creamy Black Bean Caramelized Onion Bacon Dip.
