The Best Easy Bean Dip for Super Bowl Sunday

It’s cozy, crowd-pleasing, forgiving, and…it disappears every single time.

Bean Dip
Equipment

Ingredients
- 2 Cans Refried Beans
- 1 Lb Ground Turkey or Beef
- 4 Ripe Avocados
- 2 Cups Sour Cream

Instructions

- Layer mayo/sour cream mixture over ground beef/turkey.
- Add shredded cheese. Top with tomatoes and sliced olives
- Bake at 375 for 35 minutes in casserole dish or 10-15 min in individual skillets.
