Creamy Spicy Bean Dip

If using canned beans, use two 15oz cans and drain well. Follow the rest of the recipe as normal.

I make my bean dip with 6 chiles, which yields a spicier result. For your dip, you can follow these rough guidelines:
2 chiles=mild
3 chiles=medium
4 chiles=medium spicy
5 chiles=spicy
6 chiles=SPICY!

For a smokier flavor, use 1-3 chipotle peppers in adobo depending on the degree of spiciness you want. It'll definitely be a crowd pleaser!

This dip is delicious served chilled, at room temperature, or piping hot. My personal preference is served hot. Simply transfer the dip from the blender to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for a couple of minutes until thoroughly heated. Beans burn easily, so stir frequently!
