The Best Homemade Bean Dip Recipe image

The Best Homemade Bean Dip Recipe - It's easy to make delicious, creamy, scoop-able bean dip right at home! Our restaurant-style bean dip recipe can be made on the stove or using an Instant Pot, with dried or canned beans.

Provided by Sommer Collier

Categories     Appetizer     Dip     Snack

Time 38m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound dried pinto beans
½ large sweet onion, (peeled and cut into wedges)
4-6 cloves garlic (smashed)
1 cup pico de gallo
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • To make on the stovetop, soak the beans in cold water overnight.
  • Then pour off the water and place the soaked beans in a large 6 quart sauce pot. Pour fresh water into the pot, covering the beans by 3-4 inches.
  • Turn the heat to medium. Add the onion, garlic, and salt. Cover and simmer for 2-4 hours. *The older the dried beans are, the longer they will take to cook.
  • You do not have to soak the beans if pressure cooking them. Place them in the Instant Pot, with the onions, garlic, salt, and 5 cups water.
  • Set on Pressure Cook High for 35 minutes. Then preform a Natural Release. Once the steam button has dropped it is safe to open the lid. *If the beans are too firm, pressure cook for 5-10 more minutes, then perform a quick release.
  • Once the beans are very soft, drain off the liquid and reserve for later use.
  • Pour the beans into a large food processor. Add the pico de gallo and 1 cup of reserved liquid. Pulse until mostly smooth. Then add the shredded cheese and pulse a few more times to melt the cheese into the beans. If you like your bean dip to be looser, add another ¼ to ¾ cups of cooking liquid.
  • Top with a fresh scoop of pico de gallo on top, and serve with tortilla chips or veggies.
