Warm Skillet Bean Dip is the perfect quick and easy appetizer for a crowd.
This Warm Skillet Bean Dip appetizer is always a hit at parties and goes a long way feeding a large group. Not only is it delicious and filling, but it’s also inexpensive to make; many times you’ll have most of the ingredients already on hand.
Tips for the Best Warm Skillet Bean Dip:
- Use block cheese and grate it yourself. You’ll be really glad you did. When you want gooey cheese, avoid the pre-shredded package variety because it has additives that prevents it from clumping. While that’s good for shelf-life, it’s not good for melting, because it causes the melted cheese to harden and form a crust.
- Make sure to soften the cream cheese, otherwise it will be difficult to blend with the other ingredients without forming lumps.
- Use a really good salsa! Our favorite is my Taqueria Restaurant Style Salsa!
