Homemade Bean Dip

So, a couple days ago I had a craving for chips and dip.  But not just any dip... no, BEAN DIP!  I don't know about you, but I'm a sucker for Frito Lay Bean Dip!  But, because its expensive and full of nasty stuff, I don't buy it very often... So, I decided to try to make my own!  I didn't have re-fried beans, but I DID have chili beans in sauce in my pantry... So- I grabbed the can, and started looking through my fridge and spice cupboard to find ingredients.  I found a poblano, anaheim and jalapeno peppers from my garden in the fridge and grabbed spice that I use in my tacos and chili...  Here is what I came up with.  Please remember, all measurements are approximate as I rarely measure anything when I "create" a recipe!

Rachel's Fabulous Bean Dip

1 can chili beans, with sauce
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped (you can leave the seeds in for extra heat if you'd like!)
1-2 small anaheim peppers, seeded and chopped (same for the extra heat as the poblanos!)
1 small (and I mean SMALL) jalapeno, seeded and chopped (can use a larger one and/or keep the seeds for more heat!)
Chili powder
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper
Cheddar Cheese (optional for hot dip)

Put all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.  If you want a hot dip, gently add cheese (I would do this in a separate bowl and fold the cheese in), then pour into oven safe dish and broil until hot and bubbly!

Top with sour cream and more cheese for a "layered" dip.  You could also add tomatoes, avocados etc... Be creative!  And be sure to share your creativity with me! :)

Enjoy! :)
