Texas Trash Dip is a warm, cheesy, and ultra-comforting layered bean dip that’s perfect for parties, game day, or any gathering. Loaded with refried beans, cheese, sour cream, and Tex-Mex flavors, it’s baked until hot and bubbly—always a crowd favorite.

Ingredients

  • 2 (16 oz) cans refried beans
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 oz)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional toppings: sliced green onions, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, black olives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix refried beans, softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning until smooth and well combined.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Top with shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese, covering the surface completely.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  6. Remove from oven and top with green onions, jalapeños, tomatoes, or olives if desired.
  7. Serve hot with tortilla chips or veggies.

Notes

  • Add cooked ground beef, sausage, or shredded chicken for a meatier dip.
  • Use reduced-fat cream cheese and sour cream for a lighter version.
  • For extra spice, mix in chopped green chiles, hot sauce, or jalapeños.
  • This dip can also be made in a slow cooker on low for 2–3 hours.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days—reheat in microwave or oven.
