How to Make Cheesy Black Bean Dip

  1. Cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, crumble, and set aside. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease; discard the rest.
  2. Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  3. Stir in the rinsed and drained black beans, shredded cheese, picante sauce, oregano, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  4. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the dip is heated through (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Stir in the crumbled bacon.
  6. Transfer the cheesy black bean dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with extra cheese, chopped green onions, or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
  7. Serve warm with tortilla chips, vegetables, or crackers.
