I stole this recipe. I did the usual change one or two things but refuse to claim this recipe as an original. Instead of canned beans I prepared my own from dried beans. The hot sauce is optional because I forgot to add it and when we started to chow down the dip didn’t really need any more heat. As far as bean dips go this recipe is a keeper. There were only six people at the gathering and we ate it all. So the recipe serves six.
The stuffed mushrooms all got eaten too but that’s another recipe for another day.
Helpful Hints – This is a Texas thing, black eyed peas for good luck at New Year’s. So here are a few hints. Salsa is not optional and I think I used a half cup but since I tossed and didn’t measure it might have been a little less or a little more. Hell on the Red from Telephone Texas. Use a different salsa but the dip won’t taste the same. If you like your dip spicy add more jalapenos. Add hot sauce too but it better be a good Tex-Mexican hot sauce. Don’t do the sriracha thing that everyone else does or it won’t taste the same.
