Turned out beautifully. Impressed everyone with homemade bean dip. Don't be stingy with the cheese, though - adds a nice touch.07/09/09

Nice side dish that compliment's any mexican meal. I did add one can of refried beans, a healthy splash of tequila, and a 1/2-1 cup of salsa (didn't have jalepeno :( ) and baked with cheese to beable to serve on a mexican buffet/taco bar. It did double duty as a dip and a side dish!02/15/09
