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 đŸ™‚
Diane says
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!
HoneyB says
With all those beans its gotta be healthy đŸ˜‰ Looks delish!
KathyB. says
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 ?
Scary Mommy says
YUM. I second the cookbook. You really NEED to. For us!!!
Marlene says
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

rachel says
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.
Alisa says
We aren’t even football people and I’m feeling the urge to throw a Superbowl party just to use all your yummy recipes.
Cathy - wheresmydamnanswer says
This one looks so incredible and cannot wait to make it not only this weekend but pretty much many weekends to come!!

Laura says
That looks fabulous. And I have been needing some good dips…
Pam says
The only problem with this dip is…I would eat the whole bowl. It looks fantastic Cathy.
[email protected] says
Oh my goodness, my 8 year old is going to LOVE this. Thanks.
Cheryl says
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!
Julie says
It looks great…I’d have to use a lot less jalapeno cause I’m a huge weenie.
Bob says
Oh man does that look good!
Carol says
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….
Jordan says
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….

chalk up another on I have to make – I too love black beans.
I can’t wait to see the winning recipe!
Rebel says
I would have to make two batches of this dip. One for me and one for everyone else!
Choosy Beggar Tina says
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?)
dawn says
that’s an individual serving right? LOL juuuuust for me, thank you!
Lisa says
Great photos. You make that bean dip look extremely festive. Maybe I can manage to get excited about the Super Bowl yet!
pam says
I don’t watch the Super Bowl, but I’m making this!
Lydia (The Perfect Pantry) says
Black beans, peppers and cheese? Oh, yeah!
Woman in a window says
grrrr. You need a serious warning on your site. WARNING! More calories are about to be consumed. Not fair. Looks delicious.
Linda says
This was my dinner tonight … well, I had to test it … before the game, you know. It’s a winner!
Laurie says
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.
Sara says
This looks like a delicious variation on the classic bean dip!
Bunny says
Oh yeah this is a good one! I have to make this for Sunday!
Auds at Barking Mad says
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!
Helene says
This is such a great recipe. Getting ready for the big event.

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!

BIG TIME yummmm!! Good one for Super Bowl đŸ™‚
Mrs. L says
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!
kimberleyblue says
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.
Melissa says
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.
Saver Queen says
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?
Wine Tasting Guy says
I love me some back beans!
And this looks like a great alternative to Salsa!!
peabody says
I love anything with that much cheese. đŸ™‚
Carson Wilcox says
I made this for superbowl today…. most said it could be spicier… maybe 2 jalapenos…. something…
but all loved it…
Karen K says
It’s in the oven as I type. My taste buds are plastered up against the oven window just waiting!
Jean Duncan says
Looks delicious! Also, fairly healthy. Chips probably aren’t for me, low sodium!
