Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 1 jalapeno diced (optional)
  • 14.5 ounces canned refried beans
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 ounces medium cheddar cheese cut into 1/2 inch cubes, plus a little shredded for garnish
  • 2 ounces pepper jack cheese cut into 1/2 inch cubes

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onions and jalapeno (reserve a couple jalapeño pieces for garnish if desired) for 3 minutes or until softened slightly.
  • Stir in refried beans. Cook until smooth, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients. Cook until cheese melts.
  • Top with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped jalapeños for garnish.

Notes

This is best served hot so serve it in a dish that keeps heat fairly well. If it starts to cool, just pop it in the microwave for a few seconds. 
If you like you can also shred the cheese. For flavor and consistency, I recommend shredding your own, rather than buying pre-shredded cheese.
