Jalapeno Black Bean Dip
A big thanks to all who have already submitted your Super Bowl recipes for the contest. How am I going to choose? Everything sounds so good!
Tonight at midnight is the deadline to get your recipe in for consideration, so don't forget!
Anyway just reading all these recipes about dips, chili's, soups, sandwiches and desserts made me want to make dip myself. You people are creative!
I love black beans so this Jalapeno Black Bean Dip is one of my go to choices. It has wonderful flavors and is not too spicy (the cheese and the mayo take care of that).
It's also perfect for the Super Bowl, so let's make it!
Here's what you will need: Black beans, jalapeno, mayonnaise, Monterey Jack cheese, ground cumin, garlic powder and parsley flakes.
Drain one 15 ounce can black beans and mash them with a fork. Add 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 jalapeno pepper (seeded, deveined and chopped), 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes and mix until combined.
Spoon mixture into a 1-quart casserole, then top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Place onto a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees uncovered for 20 twenty minutes or until heated through.
You just know it's good.
Serve with your favorite dippers while rooting for your team.

This would be something new to bring to our family gathering in Feb. They are used to me bring the same old thing. This would shake it up!
Totally unrelated to this post, but I have been wondering-when you use butter in your recipes and photograph it, it looks like a mini version of a regular stick of butter. Is it a brand that just makes theirs more square than rectangular? The Dude looked at it too and thought it looked 'mini'. Just wondering

Yay! An excuse to go out and buy some tortilla chips! I mean thin cut wedges of carrot of course!
I'm on a calorie count so if I make this I'll have to use veggies to dip into it, but I'm sure it'll be fantastic with strips of peppers and carrots!

With all those beans its gotta be healthy

The recipe looks yummy, even at this time of the morning, excepting the beans part. I will delete the beans for myself and double the cheese. Or make it just as written for everybody else!
Have you considered your own cook book ?
Reply to this
YUM. I second the cookbook. You really NEED to. For us!!!
Reply to this
Ummm, yeah...this will definitely get made this coming Sunday!!!
Thanks for a great recipe. I succumbed to the baking fairy, but I did not eat any of it. I smelled it often, but there are no calories in aromas, right?
Love ya,
Marlene

I'm a big black bean fan so this recipe looks terrific! (I even make a brownie recipe where black beans take the place of flour!)

Looks quick & easy & tasty. I think I can handle that. I'll probably add a little chipotle, cause I love that smoky warmth!

CATHY!!!
I think I'm in love with this recipe. It has all my favorite stuff! I'm so tempted to run to the store right now, pick up the ingredients and make it for myself for lunch. It looks astounding.

Kudos from one black bean admirer to another. And hey, the black beans makes the whole dip healthy, right?

I'll have to give this a try. As long as it's not too spicy, it'll be wonderful!

I love black bean dip. This recipe is a keeper! I'm excited to see what others have submitted for their "big day" recipes.

I love dips! And how did that deadline sneak up on me? And me with a client tonight? Maybe I'll write it out at work! Shhh!

Yup it is that time and I need to think about what to feed my little house of fans this Sunday. They love hot dips so this may be a good one for us. Love all the beautiful photos!

Yum, yum! I almost posted a Black Bean dip today.

Is it possible that this is just about the best sounding dip ever. I love black beans more than anything. Thank you for this, I'm going to make it for a party I'm attending tonight. Thanks.
Reply to this
We aren't even football people and I'm feeling the urge to throw a Superbowl party just to use all your yummy recipes.
Reply to this
This one looks so incredible and cannot wait to make it not only this weekend but pretty much many weekends to come!!
Reply to this
This dip looks just delicious - I like the jalapenos in it!
Reply to this
Black bean dip is the way to go for a party! We second this all the way. Especially with mayo!
Reply to this
Easy, perfect and delicious---so well suited to serving at any Super Bowl party.
Reply to this
Oh Dear! This would be a dish I couldn't possibly resist. Did I mention that I'm also a Bean Ho? Mmmmm...
Reply to this
Yum! I love black beans and I love jalapenos, so this is right up my alley.
Reply to this
i love black beans. i love fire in my mouth. i love jack cheese. this dip would permanently distract me from any and every football game.
Reply to this
That looks fabulous. And I have been needing some good dips...
Reply to this
The only problem with this dip is...I would eat the whole bowl. It looks fantastic Cathy.
Reply to this
Oh my goodness, my 8 year old is going to LOVE this. Thanks.
Reply to this
Am I too indulgent to be thinking it'd be fun to dole out personal portions/containers and serve for dinner on non-Superbowl Sundays?
YUMMY!
Reply to this
It looks great...I'd have to use a lot less jalapeno cause I'm a huge weenie.
Reply to this
Oh man does that look good!
Reply to this
Yum...Cathy, this dip looks great-and I think I have everything in the house to make it! Your chick peas recipe is one that I'll be making for the game...this very well could be the other one-I'll have one happy husband for sure....
Reply to this
Oh......my gosh. This looks so scrumptious. I love love black beans, and I think I absolutely must make this. I can't usually hack jalapenos though....maybe a little Rotel would work as a replacement....

I could drink this for breakfast. Yum.

chalk up another on I have to make - I too love black beans.
I can't wait to see the winning recipe!
Reply to this
I would have to make two batches of this dip. One for me and one for everyone else!
Reply to this
Jeez, I think that I've been getting fatter just reading about your Superbowl recipes - all of which look lip smackingly tummy-rumblingly good! Black bean dip is so full of fibre and wonderful things, but the color sometimes throws people off...I love that you solved that problem by smothering it in cheese and pretty garnishes!! Great job, as always.
(and will you save me a seat on your couch come game day?)
Reply to this
that's an individual serving right? LOL juuuuust for me, thank you!
Reply to this
Great photos. You make that bean dip look extremely festive. Maybe I can manage to get excited about the Super Bowl yet!
Reply to this
I don't watch the Super Bowl, but I'm making this!
Reply to this
Black beans, peppers and cheese? Oh, yeah!
Reply to this
grrrr. You need a serious warning on your site. WARNING! More calories are about to be consumed. Not fair. Looks delicious.
Reply to this
This was my dinner tonight ... well, I had to test it ... before the game, you know. It's a winner!
Reply to this
My daughter has requested a Mexican feast for her 16th birthday party this week. This will make a wonderful appetizer!
Thanks again for a fun contest, Cathy. I'm not a big football fan, but I love the food.
Reply to this
This looks like a delicious variation on the classic bean dip!
Reply to this
Oh yeah this is a good one! I have to make this for Sunday!
Reply to this
You had me at Black Beans. I love beans...all beans, with the exception of Lima Beans, but Black Beans, *sigh* be still my heart.
With all this awesome stuff you're featuring, I just may have to watch the Superbowl afterall...just so I have something to do whilst I'm stuffing all this yummy goodness down my throat!

Oh ... yummy, nummy, yummy dip! I'm doing a happy dance looking at it. Plus, it's gluten free ... yippee! My dishwasher was delivered today! I had the guy double check all the lines and run it while he was here to make sure everything was hooked up right! I kept envisioning your floor!

This dip sounds really good. Except for the Super Bowl party I'm going to bring Bacon Guacamole and, ahem, someones Nutella-Peanut Butter Brownies!
Reply to this
I adore bean dips, and this one sounds like it would be right up my alley! I don't care much about football, but I'd watch the game for a chance at some of that.
Reply to this
Cool, now I have a black bean chili and a black bean dip.
I'm partial to black beans, in case I wasn't being obvious. Plus, when you add the word "jalapeno" to the mix, I'm all about it.
Reply to this
This looks delicious and so easy to make. Can you sub in another kind of cheese? I'd like to use up what I have at home and I don't have any Montery Jack. I do have brie, blue cheese, raw goat milk cheese, and sharp cheddar... would any of these go?
Reply to this
I love me some back beans!
And this looks like a great alternative to Salsa!!
Reply to this
I love anything with that much cheese.
Reply to this
I made this for superbowl today.... most said it could be spicier... maybe 2 jalapenos.... something...
but all loved it...

It's in the oven as I type. My taste buds are plastered up against the oven window just waiting!
