    Here’s one recipe that I’m usually expected to have ready for my crowd when I’m having a gathering.

    Certain foods just go hand in hand like wings for the Super Bowl. 😊

    This is a great and casual time cruncher appetizer that’s just perfect for a crowd.

    Great for holidays, barbecues, Fourth of July, tailgate parties and of course the Super Bowl!

    Nevertheless, watch out cause this dip will go fast!  Everyone loves this dip.

    Maybe consider having a second baking dish waiting to be put in the oven!  Take my word for it, this is a crowd pleaser!

    But don’t worry, you don’t have to wait to have a gathering to enjoy this delicious dip.

    So how do we make it?

    Mix sour cream, cream cheese and chili powder.

    • 1 cup monterey jack cheese shredded
    • 2 tablespoons chili powder
    • ½ cup scallions chopped, reserve some aside for garnish
    • 3 jalapenos chopped, may remove ribs and seeds for less heat
    • tortilla chips

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C).
    • Mix cream cheese, sour cream and chili powder together in bowl. 
    • Combine refried beans, scallions, jalapenos, and cheddar cheese.

    Notes

    This is a great dip….If dip cools and the cheese topping starts to become rubbery, simply place back in oven for a few minutes to melt cheese again.
