Bean Dip Recipe, Easy and Great for Parties

Delicious and easy bean dip recipe made with pork and beans. Great for parties and any type of gathering. It’s nice and spicy with a smokey flavor. Pair it with some Chile Cheese FritosĀ® and it makes a great splash at the buffet table. 

This bean dip recipe is not my own. I got it years ago out of a Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book. But, it is such a unique and different tasting appetizer, that I thought everyone should have the recipe. I can’t take this dish anywhere without getting compliments galore. No one every realizes that it is made with pork and beans.

Whenever my husband and I used to go to any kind of outing, I would always be asked to bring this dip.

When you think of bean dip, you usually think of a pinto bean dip with a Mexican flare. But this dip is made with pork and beans and has more of a southwestern flavor. It is very tangy and kind of grabs your taste buds. You’ll see.

There have been a couple of times when I have made this dip and served it as a light dinner with corn chips. I have included as a side, a green salad with avocado, black olives, mushrooms, chopped green onions and chopped hard boiled eggs topped with a Caesar dressing.

This dip is best served warm. When serving it, I usually keep it in a oven proof bowl and keep a lit candle underneath it to keep it warm. You can also use a small fondue pot if you have one.
