Cheesy Bean Dip

Heat up in a pot over medium heat:

• 1 quart home canned pinto beans (undrained)

While beans are heating up, mix together in a bowl:

• 8 oz soft cream cheese
• 1/2 c. sour cream
• 1/2 – 1 cup salsa
• 1/4 cup canned jalapeños (I use home canned for this as well) chopped up, optional

When beans are very hot, use a hand mixer to mash them up. Add the bowl of ingredients and mix again. After it is well mixed, add 3 – 6 cups shredded cheese and mix again. ~~~~~~~ I sometimes use fine shredded cheese and it takes less. If it is thick shredded cheese, you will want to use a bit more. And some people like it super cheesy while others like it less cheesy. You will have to decide. But for sure you will want the 3 cups.

Serve warm with chips, quesadillas, chicken tenders/nuggets/fries, burritos, and so many other things!
