Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the refried beans, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced green chilies, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper until well blended.
Spread the mixture evenly into a small baking dish or an oven-safe serving dish.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted on top.
Let it cool slightly, then top with fresh garnishes like green onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, or cilantro.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced veggies.

Notes

Use Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese for a flavor twist.

Stir in cream cheese for extra creaminess.

Layer with ground beef or black beans for a heartier dip.

Add hot sauce or smoked paprika for a spicier or smokier version.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
