Before You Know It Bean Dip (Magic Bullet)

Submitted by Sandi From CA

"Not all bean dip comes out of that creepy little can. You can make hearty, delicious, all-natural bean dip in seconds. This dip is great both warm and cold. If you go for the warm version, try adding 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese to the ingredients before you blend it. (If you don't have room, partially mix the ingredients, then add the cheese.) Take the blade off, place the Shaker/Steamer Top on the cup and microwave for about 2-3 minutes (until warm throughout). Give the dip another quick Pulse or two, then serve immediately. The warm version goes perfectly with nachos or sliced crusty Italian bread. Courtesy of the Magic Bullet recipe booklet. TIPS: Use your favorite type of bean. Black beans can be substituted with pinto beans, white beans, whatever you're into. ** Black Bean Sauce ** Add a cup of broth to make a perfect sauce for pouring over chicken or fish. ** Black Bean Soup ** Add 2 cups of broth to make a zesty, flavorful soup -- a great way to use any leftover dip. Throw in a few shrimp for a real treat."

This is one of my favorite dips. It is so easy to make. I like to use 2 garlic cloves for extra zip.

Very tasty! A little heavy on the raw onion taste, for me and my husband. I would leave out the chicken broth next time. We like it thick like a dip. But a recipe I will certainly make again and again!

This is a great recipe! The vinegar adds that distinctive flavor that is typical of canned bean dips and this recipe works equally well without it, which is how I prefer it. I also tend to make it without the broth for a nice thick chip dip.
