How to Make Bean And Banana Dip

  1. In a large saucepan, sauté 1 pound of your favorite sausage (Italian sausage recommended) over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and break up the meat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and continue to sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1-2 jalapeños, seeded and minced (adjust to your spice preference); and 1 (14.5 ounce) can of tomato sauce. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in 2 (15 ounce) cans of your favorite beans (kidney or black beans recommended), drained and rinsed, and 1 ripe medium banana, mashed. Add enough bean liquid to reach your desired dip consistency. Start with 1/4 cup and add more as needed.
  5. Mash the beans slightly with a spoon or potato masher until you reach your desired texture. Mix all ingredients well.
  6. Cover and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve warm with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
