Black Bean Dip

Black Bean Dip ~ Bookmark this hot and cheesy party dip! It’s fast and easy to make and requires less than 10 minutes of prep. 

The summer games are finally here and the boys and I have our viewing line-up ready to go. But first food because what’s a sporting event without good eats.

**This is a sponsored post written in collaboration with Crockpot™ Express Oval Pressure Cooker. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

First up is what you see here, the Black Bean Dip. It’s incredibly easy to make, you, can also make it with pinto beans for a more classic bean dip. I just happen to prefer black beans, so that’s why you see it here.

To start, and to make all your life easy, get yourself a Crockpot™ Express Oval Pressure Cooker. It replaces 9 appliances like a: saute pan, slow cooker, stock pot, yogurt maker, food warmer, steamer, rice cooker, dessert maker, and stovetop pressure cooker. The  large capacity makes it so you can easily make large meals to serve 7+ people.

Cooking beans in Crockpot™ Express Oval Pressure Cooker means, no soaking, no hours upon hours of stovetop babysitting. Beans cook in 30 minutes or less.

For this recipe you’ll start with the saute function and brown the aromatics for maximum flavor. From there the remainder of the recipe requires nothing more than adding in the remaining ingredients.

. . . . That’s it. Easy, right?

Trust me when I say you and your family will love this bean dip recipe. Enjoy!
