From Denny: Just think of all the yummy things you can do with the simple pinto bean. The first idea that comes to mind is a Mexican style layered hearty party dip perfect for tailgating or holiday parties.
This easy dip is layered with pureed beans with spices and fat-free cream cheese, salsa and a rice mixture made up of skillet roasted corn, chiles and spices. All this goodness is topped with shredded sharp cheddar cheese and then baked for about 30 minutes.
How simple is that? Yeah, I thought you'd like this one! At this holiday time of year we can all get a bit frazzled so easy recipes like this are welcome. This one certainly qualifies as a meal at our house so why make anything else?
You could add a simple salad - and chocolate pretzels for dessert. Yes, I have a chocolate blog too. Come on; you had to know. :) Check it out if you enjoy chocolate recipes: Romancing The Chocolate.
