Frito Lay Bean Dip

I'm not going to pull the "Well I decreased the salt by 8 grains and made it even better!" And I'm not going to say that this was as good as Lay's...

...because it's better! OMG! You're looking at someone who has craved Lay's since he was a teen boy! I made your recipe tonight for my dad and best friend and they wolfed it down!

Thank you! You're a genius! :)

Made as directed with fat free refried beans. Very good and similar to the real deal.

Made this on a whim -- and because we love FL bean dip but I hate the price :). This is dead-on for a replacement. DH and his buddy who eat this cans at a time did not know it was homemade -- thought I just put a couple of cans into a chip/dip bowl to the party!!! Can't get any better than that! Thanks for posting

I've been making this for months now and am just now getting around to reviewing it. It is Wonderful!!! I use Pace refried beans and throw everything into a blender since I dont have a food processor. Thanks so much for the recipe!!

Fantastic! I made this once for co-workers, and its been requested ever since, I use it in a layer dip, and I also use it to make bean burritos! Thank you!

My husband wanted me to try to duplicate the Fritos bean dip, but i altered the recipe a little. Zatarains has a seasoning called Blackened Seasoning and a substituted all the spices for it and just added a teaspoon and a half of the Zatarains and it turned out great.

My DH and I loved this recipe. It was super easy to make, and super yummy to eat! Thank you for sharing an economical alternative to one of our favorite dips! We will be making this often.

Well, I was skeptical that this recipe was going to be as good as the one from the store. I took another reviewers advice, and used canned pinto beans- because all the brands of refried beans at my store added spices. When I threw everything together, it did not look or taste anything like frito lay bean dip, but after an hour or so- yummo! Dh even liked it. Thanks for sharing!

This is very good. The recipe I use calls for canned pinto beans that have been drained - which is how I always make it. I'm sure the refried beans are good but if you want to control the seasonings go with the canned pinto beans.

Much tastier than the Frito Lay brand dip if you ask me. I added extra jalapeno peppers and cayenne to spice it up a bit. I will definitly make this again!

I think this recipe has a lot of potential. I should have re-read all of the feedback before beginning... my dip tasted tooo salty, and I generally am a big salter.... I think I could have left the salt out - based on the particular brine I had for the jalepenos. Also - another reviewer said maybe it didn't need the sugar? Another reviewer said to start with canned pinto beans, rather than the canned refried...which may have spices or fat added already. So, I'm definitely going to try this again and will let you know how it all works out! Thanks for posting. I do love the FL bean dip but don't like paying $3.99 or whatever the outrageous price is!!!! UPDATE: made this a second time -- no salt added, easy on the brine (1.5 tsp) and extra jalepeno.... YUMMO !!!

Awesome! I've been outside of the US for so long I dont remember exactly what the Frito canned kind tastes like, but I dont think I will buy it even when we return! This tastes very good, but it does seem a tad creamier. I've made it twice in just a few days my family liked it so much. I did not use sugar but did add the salt, even though the beans here have it they dont have anything else so I thought it'd be ok. The second time I also added a little more brine and a splash more cayenne pepper. My husband mixed his (individually) with hot sauce and liked it that way a lot. Great recipe!

This is a perfect clone. I'd have to taste them side by side to try to tell the difference but that won't happen because I won't buy the overpriced Frito Lay dip anymore. A great use for this other than dip is to buy one of the hard/soft taco kits. Spread a Tbl or more of this dip over the soft taco then using the adhesive quality of the dip wrap it around the crunchy taco and then fill as usual. You'll wind up with 6 hard/soft tacos instead of 6 hard tacos 6 soft tacos, but they are so good! And filling, too.
I see that Meijer's is having a buy one, get one free on Frito Lay Scoops in a couple of days so I've got to make up some more of this delicious dip. Thanks for sharing.

I did not try this on its own because I used it to make Charlie's Dip. However, that dip was *awesome* so I'm sure this one is too since it was the base of that one! I used refried black beans and halved the recipe, but otherwise made as directed. Thanks for sharing!

This stuff is great. My BF wanted more after he polished of the bowl. I had Jalepeno refried beans in the cupboard and used those. It was awesome. Thanks for saving us money! No more Frito Lay Bean Dip for us!

Not sure why people criticize a recipe that they deviate from but whatever. I never made this before and have had the canned version once or twice but never buy canned dips as a rule so I tried it. I doubled the recipe and added 1/4 lime juice. Someone commented that the salt wasn't needed but the amount is insignificant so either way probably works. I used low fat retried beans as that's what I keep around. You can make a double batch of this for $2 in canned beans and nets about 3lbs or so. Or you can spend $4 on a 6oz can at the store One has preservatives and one doesn't. Otherwise they are essentially the same. Your pick

This is very good bean dip. Next time I make it I will omit the salt. I just don't think it needs it. I did add 4-5 drops of hot sauce to it, to give it a little kick. Thank you for sharing and I will definately make again.
