Once I realized it, I couldn’t believe it: we didn’t have a good bean dip on this website! So, today we are gonna fix that. We are sharing this recipe for a Cream Cheese Bean Dip, also called Texas Trash!
What Is Texas Trash?
I’ve gotta admit, it’s not the best name for a dip. But I didn’t come up with it. Texas Trash is usually a creamy, cheesy bean dip that is loaded with Tex-Mex Flavor. I’ve seen it used as a side dish on a plate with tacos and rice. I’ve also seen it used as dip. It works for either! I love recipes that can be used for more than one thing!
Cream Cheese Bean Dip Ingredients
As you can tell by the name. We are going to need a lot of cream, a lot of cheese and a lot of beans. Pretty simple. Here is what you’ll need to get started:
- 1 16-ounce can refried beans
- 1 8-ouce package cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with chilies, drained
- 1 cup shredded taco blend cheese, divided
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese, divided
Can You Make This Dish Ahead Of Time?
I would caution against it. Anything with this much cheese and cream will probably not freeze and reheat too well. This dish is best served fresh. With only 5 minutes of prep and 20 minutes of cooking time, it should be pretty simple to have the cheesy bean dip ready to go within minimal effort!
Can You Make Texas Trash Dip In The Slow Cooker?
Yep! You can certainly make this dip in your Crock Pot! I would just mix all of the ingredients into your slow cooker, then cook on low for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally. Just keep an eye on it. It will be done when it’s warm and all the cheese is melted.
Notes, Tips and Variations
- We use taco blended and pepper jack cheese. It gives it a nice extra little kick. But you can try switching up cheese if you’d like! A soft, white Mexican cheese like Cotija Cheese would work great too! Don’t use Velveeta. Just… don’t.
- Add a protein. Some ground beef or shredded chicken would be awesome and would make this more of a main course.
- Spice things up by putting jalapenos, chilis or any other peppers into the mix.
- Garnish! A great garnish can make all the difference! Top with diced up tomatoes, cilantro, guacamole, green onions or olives!
