Frito Lay makes awesome bean dip but my recipe is even better because on top of the beans is more flavorful goodness than just beans. My Frito Lay like beans are creamy, zesty and can be made for vegans and vegetarians alike.
The secret to making bean dip creamy is in the milk. Some have been known to add a little melted lard and that’s okay but milk adds a touch of sweetness and helps the beans stay creamy so chips don’t break during dipping.

LOL everyone says that. Whenever I tell people I put milk in my beans they give me some crazy looks like I suggested boiling the baby! Milk makes all the difference. I’m glad you liked the recipe and thank you for taking the time to read my blog.

Your tip for using milk in this recipe is Great! I was hesitant to use it at first but the beans were the best ever, just like the canned ones only a little better. Thank you.
