When it comes to tailgating, dishes that are big on flavor and simplicity are the absolute best. Today I’m making my gang’s favorite bean dip. I love this dish because it can be made in the slow cooker. All you have to do is combine the ingredients and cook. It doesn’t get any easier than that and it is sure to be a hit with your game day gang.
You can vary the beans to suit your palate or use what you have available in your pantry. I like using both refried beans and whole beans to add a little texture. It’s safe to eat cold, so be sure to taste it before cooking to be sure the seasonings are as you like. Once cooked, the melted cheese makes it even better.
