This dip, packed with sausage, salsa, and cheese, is both creamy and chunky, making it a hearty snack for one or a group. Try this dip instead of ready-made queso at your next gathering (or just enjoy it solo; we won't tell).

Yield:

4 cups of dip

Ingredients

2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained
¼ cup sour cream or plain yogurt
½ teaspoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
1/2 (1-pound) Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Hot Sausage
2 tablespoons salsa
2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon roughly chopped cilantro

Directions

In a food processor, mix beans, 1/4 cup sour cream, garlic, and salt. Pulse until smooth.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain. Move the sausage to a separate pot and set aside.
Add the black bean mixture to the Jimmy Dean sausage. Bring to medium heat and stir often until dip is hot, about 5 minutes.
Spoon the hot dip into a bowl and top with salsa, cheese, remaining sour cream, and cilantro.
Serve with chips or in a tortilla, and enjoy!

Cook's Note:

Use the leftover Jimmy Dean Sausage to make sausage patties or crumbles to serve with eggs.
