Chili Bean Dip and Bonus Recipe!

I have a sheet labelled Select Snacking that has various snack type recipes on it. I was considering making one to take with us on our drive to Muncie, but never got around to it. However, I did make one of the other recipes on the back side of the page.

Chili Bean Dip

1 15 oz. can kidney beans
3 Tablespoons, drained bean liquid
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons grated onion
2 teaspoons chopped parsley



Place drained beans, bean liquid, vinegar and seasonings in blender. Blend until smooth. Remove from blender and add onion and parsley. Chill thoroughly and serve with fresh vegetables.

It was okay, but I didn't think there was enough flavor. In the future I will probably add more chili powder and cumin, plus add in some garlic powder. Big Chubb thought it wasn't spicy enough. The thing that I found interesting was the vinegar, which I thought gave it a sweet taste.


**BONUS RECIPE**

Farther down on the sheet it suggest making nachos with the bean dip.

Spread large tortilla chips with chili bean dip (above) then top with shredded cheese. Arrange on plate and microwave 30-40 seconds (until cheese starts to melt).

Little Chubb and Baby Chubb had this for lunch with me one day. They did not appreciate it. I thought is was good, It would have been better with real sour cream instead of Greek yogurt, but we are trying to be healthier.
