Instructions
Prepare Ingredients
- Cook Stovetop Black Beans w/ Shallots & Garlic. I like this recipe better than opening a can of refried beans or actually having to go through the process of frying them! This does require some forethought, though, and takes about 6 hours to cook. If you do want to make it, though, you'll only need about half of a batch.
Bean Dip
- Combine black beans and Greek yogurt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally.Do not let boil or simmer, but hover just below that temperature.
- Slowly stir in Swiss cheese, about 1/4 cup at a time. Continue to stir occasionally.
- Cook until all of the cheese is incorporated, about 15 minutes total.
Tips, Tricks, & Notes
- For a thinner sauce, cook for less time and/or add in more Greek yogurt.
- For a thicker sauce, cook for more time and/or add in more cheese.
