I made this recipe. If I was to make it again I would remove the cinnamon – this made it almost disgusting to eat, no one at the party liked it, once people took one dip they did not go back. For me, this was due to the cinnamon which was a weird ingredient to add – i can’t speak for the other people that tried it. So the entire dip was a waste of time and food and since it sat out for several hours I threw it away. Lesson learned!
I needed a recipe to use up kidney beans in something besides chili, and this turned out to be a huge hit with my family. It’s healthful enough that I don’t mind them eating chips with it.
Can anyone suggest what can be done of the leftover dip . Recipes will be appreciated!!! Thanks I’m advance
Made this as part of a taco dip. Great flavor by itself too
One of my favorite appetizers to serve. Very simple and delicious.
Just made it. 1 large onion is WAAAAY too much onion.
This was really great! I followed the recipe, but I think it would also be a great side dish served warm and not blended.
