Made as directed; used canned borlotti beans, I believe the cans were more like 18 oz though. 1 cup of liquid was the entire amount of the two cans, so save yourself some trouble and just dump it all in!

Used store brand mild salsa and 2 cups of Monterey Jack & jalepeno cheese.

Mixture looked liquidy at first – give it a couple minutes to set up! Ended up perfect! Dip was a hit, and is a great base to start making your own tweaks as well.

I always use canned vegetarian refried beans to thicken everything including fusion. Never flour or corn starch. Doesn’t take much. Also, I prefer Italian cannellini beans almost always. Also anything that comes out of a can is always heavily salted already. I never add additional salt without tasting the final product. As far as the liquid out of the can, always read the ingredients first. especially the salt content.

In reply to Stephanie. Your recipe says add beans and liquid to saucepan. Warm until cheese is melted. No mention of adding cheese, salsa or salt. Is everything added at once and the heated. Thanks.

I have made this twice now and loved it. I used pinto beans because barlotti beans were hard to find. The different brands had different amounts of beans/ liquid so I do think the amount of liquid used could affect the recipe depending on which brand of beans are used. It is simple though to adjust the liquid depending on the brand or personal preference. Topped it with green onions and tomatoes. My friends loved it! Thanks!!

In reply to Helen Vast. We are so sorry this happened to you! This is likely due to differences in bean can liquid amounts. We have updated the recipe to include the exact amount of bean can liquid to use. So sorry and thank you for letting us know about this. Let us know if you do try it again!

Too liquidy and bland, looked nothing like the picture. I ended up spooning the pinto beans into a mixer to blend them into a dip consistency, mashing them was inconsistent and lumpy.

This was disappointing. Followed the recipe using pinto beans. More like bean soup than dip. Very liquidy.

In reply to Anonymous. Did you use the borlotti beans, or pinto beans? Which brand of beans? I'm thinking we may need to specify an amount of can liquid to pour in since all brands of beans are different -- so let me know. Also did you mash the beans with a masher as well? This helps with the texture. Let us know!
