Super Bowl Special ! The Chili Guys
20% off frozen green chiles - all varieties

Classic Bean Dip
 
I just pulled a bushel of Big Jim
chiles out of the freezer and peeled, seeded and packed them up for
freezing. This weekend should be Super Bowl party time! What do you
need for a great Super Bowl party besides green chili?? You absolutely
gotta have BEAN DIP!!! If I were giving a big Super Bowl party, I'd buy one
of those giant 10-lb cans of refried beans from Costco and make a ton of this!

I made this with Hatch Mild chiles. I would prefer it made with a medium-hot
chile like Big Jim, Sandia, or Mosco. I also think it would be great made with
Dynamites. I ended up making this my entire dinner!
