Looking for a simple and satisfying appetizer that will wow your guests? This Quick & Easy Warm and Cheesy Bean Dip is the answer! Bursting with flavor, it's the perfect game day snack.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside until ready to use. Place room-temperature cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer for about a minute until light and fluffy. Then, add the sour cream and beat for another minute until well combined.
Add both cans of refried beans and beat with the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Add the taco seasoning and taco sauce and beat until well combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat the mixture one last time to make sure everything is well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth it out into an even layer. Top the bean dip with freshly shredded extra-sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly brown and dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about five minutes. Serve warm with tortilla chips.
