This creamy and chunky dip, which is filled with sausage, salsa, and cheese, makes a filling snack for one or a group. At your next gathering, try this dip in place of ready-made queso (or just eat it by yourself; we won’t tell).

Ingredients
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained
- ¼ cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 (1-pound) Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Hot Sausage
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon roughly chopped cilantro
Instructions
- In a food processor, mix beans, 1/4 cup sour cream, garlic, and salt. Pulse until smooth.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain. Move the sausage to a separate pot and set aside.
- Add the black bean mixture to the Jimmy Dean sausage. Bring to medium heat and stir often until dip is hot, about 5 minutes.
- Spoon the hot dip into a bowl and top with salsa, cheese, remaining sour cream, and cilantro.
- Serve with chips or in a tortilla, and enjoy!
- Use the leftover Jimmy Dean Sausage to make sausage patties or crumbles to serve with eggs.
Reviews
I choose this recipe because I had black beans in the pantry and sausage in the freezer. I followed the recipe directions exactly with no substitutions or additions. The mixture was much thicker than what was pictured and for some reason was an odd color. While I was excited to serve what was pictured it did not turn out that way.
