Raspberry Chipotle Black Bean Dip

This is the last appetizer recipe I’m posting before the Superbowl. I hope I’ve given you guys some ideas for snacks to prepare if you’re throwing or going to a party. Who are you guys hoping will win? As I mentioned the other day, I’m a big Peyton Manning fan, so I’m hoping the Broncos win on Sunday.

After making raspberry chipotle jam, I started searching for ways to use it up. We really enjoyed it slathered on some cheese and crackers, but I had 4 jars of it… After some internet searching, I came across this recipe for Raspberry Chipotle Black Bean Dip. I was intrigued at the flavor combination. I knew I liked all of the main components on their own, but I wasn’t sure exactly how it would come out.

I’m glad I went ahead and made this dip. It’s quite tasty and more unique than the standard buffalo chicken dip. One thing I observed is that the jam on it’s own has a great subtle kick to it. In this dip, you didn’t get the kick as much. It was much more subtle thanks to the creamy beans and the cream cheese. This makes the dip more appetizing to a broad audience, which is always good when taking a snack to a party.

If you don’t have homemade raspberry chipotle jam, you can find raspberry chipotle sauce at most grocery stores.

Raspberry Chipotle Black Bean Dip

Creamy smashed black beans, cream cheese, and raspberry chipotle jam combine for this unique dip that's sure to please.

Yield: Serves 6-8

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can black beans
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup raspberry chipotle sauce (or homemade raspberry chipotle sauce)
1/2 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
Tortilla chips, for serving

Directions:

Melt butter in small skillet. Add onion and sauté until slightly brown. Remove from heat and place the onion in a bowl to cool.

Dump the can of black beans into a small pan. Add the salt and cumin. Stir over medium heat, mashing the beans as it cooks. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the liquid reduces and the beans have a smooth, yet chunky consistency. Remove from heat.

Add the cream cheese to the bowl of onions and stir to combine.

Place the cream cheese in the center of an oven-safe dish.

Spoon the beans around the cream cheese mixture.

Spoon a well into the center of the cream cheese. Pour the raspberry chipotle sauce or jam into the well.

Add pepper jack cheese and place in a 450-degree oven, until the cheese melts. Serve with tortilla chips.

    I’ve been wanting to try out this cake, but I just don’t like the addition of sour cream. I may have to get over my dislike of the sour stuff and make this. It looks great!

    We subbed greek yogurt for the sour cream in case that sounds better to you.

    The cake looks fantastic!!! I have never been strawberry picking, I’m sure my kids would love it though. We go apple picking every fall though.

    Funny, I just “found” your blog looking through a bunch of old recipes that I bookmarked in a file like a year ago. I had your Samoas Bars bookmarked to make and I forgot about them. I still want to make them!!!
