Cheesy Texas Trash Dip Recipe (Mexican Bean Dip)

Warm, gooey, cheesy, and beany. Seriously, where’s the bad here?!

Texas Trash dip is a super cheesy baked appetizer that’ll have everyone coming back for seconds and thirds (maybe even more!).

Since it’s meat-free, it’s perfect for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Plus, it’s full of Tex-Mex flavor.

It’s easy to make, too. If you bake it in the oven, you’ll have it ready to go in about half an hour.

But if you want to cook it in the slow cooker, you’ll need to prep a couple of hours ahead.

Either way, it’s incredible.

If you like party dips as much as I do, you’ll want to bookmark this Texas Trash dip recipe.

It’s cheesy, spicy, rich, and totally addictive.

Let’s take a look:

Cream Cheese: This rich, creamy ingredient will act as the base for your dip. It gives it its thick texture and a decadent, slightly tangy taste.

Sour Cream: Sour cream makes the cream cheese even creamier. It also makes the dip easier to work with and easier to scoop.

Refried Beans: The beans add protein, flavor, and heartiness.

Chopped Green Chiles: These give the dip its signature zing without adding a ton of heat.

Taco Seasoning: McCormick® is my favorite because it’s slightly spicy and perfectly blended for that signature Tex-Mex flavor. However, you can use whatever taco seasoning you prefer.

Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese: You can’t have a cheese dip without plenty of cheese! You’ll add this into the dip and on top of it to make it extra gooey.

You can also top the dip with flavorful toppings, such as:

Chives
Diced tomatoes
Cilantro
Sweet corn kernels
Extra sour cream
Hot sauce

How to Store Leftover Texas Trash Dip

It’s hard to imagine any of this dip being leftover. My family always devours every last bite.

But if you do have leftovers, that’s no problem.

Allow the dip to cool completely. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 4 days.

Reheat it in the microwave in 30-second intervals.

Unfortunately, I don’t recommend freezing any leftovers. The dip’s consistency and texture would likely break down when you thaw it.
