This Smokey Black Bean Dip is simple to make, and only requires 10 ingredients! It's creamy, smokey, and spicy, everything you want in a black bean dip! This dip is made for holidays, parties and tailgating.
Everyone knows that a great tailgate has a dip! This end all, be all, when it comes to dips. Seriously. Creamy, smooth, smokey, and with just the right amount of heat.
It's easy to make, and only requires 10 ingredients! 4 of those ingredients are spices, that you most likely already have.
They are spice cabinet staples. You know, salt, pepper, cumin, and oregano. If those aren't staples in your cabinet, you should totally think about getting them. So many awesomely tasty recipes have those spices in them.
So about this Smokey Black Bean Dip - we were at my aunt and uncle's house before the holidays and we were talking recipes. My uncle, pulls out some recipe cards, and I start snapping photos of the ones that spoke to me.
This made that cut, and when I made this dip, I knew that I had to share it with y'all. Now, I made it a tad differently, I think, than his. I only say I think, because y'all know what...I didn't take a photo of the back, where the rest of the recipe was! Hahaha.
Either way, this dip is amazing, and should totally be brought to any parties and all those tailgating events coming up for Super Bowl Sunday!
That hand up there? It's Zack, my awesome husband, who is always willing to lend a hand, HAHA, get it? I'll be honest, I laughed. Anyway.
He helps me with my photos a lot. So do my girls, but he's a trooper. I mean I can't tell you how many times he's pulled our chandelier to the side, (and held it there), over the dining table, so that I could get an overhead shot. I hope that one day I can bring him on behind the scenes, like so many other husbands do for bloggers.
I'm sure he'd love to edit photos for me, be my permanent photo helper, and help make food videos. <--- I'm working on this!
I have a few that I have written out that I want to video, and I'm just waiting to buy the editing software. I'm pretty excited, and I'm sure he'd love to be able to come on and do the behind the scenes stuff!
Ok, enough rambling on. Let's get down to the real reason y'all are here..this Smoky Black Bean Dip recipe!
I'm sure you're all going to fall totally in love with it, and it will be apart of your holiday parties going forward. It will be the one that everyone is surly gonna ask you the recipe for.
