Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup brewed coffee
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 teaspoons mustard
1 teaspoon chile paste, such as sriracha
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 16-ounce cans pinto beans, drained
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup grated Cheddar
1/4 cup sliced green onions
Butter crackers, such as Ritz, or tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat; line a plate with a paper towel. Add the bacon to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the lined plate to drain.
  • Discard most of the bacon fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pot. Return to medium heat, add the onion, bell pepper and garlic and saute until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar, coffee, ketchup, mustard, chile paste and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper, then add the beans and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until the sauce has thickened, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with the Cheddar, green onions and reserved bacon. Serve with crackers or chips alongside.
