This may have more to do with the shape I am in than I care to admit. Anyway, for some odd reason, I feel compelled to share a recipe and, of all things, it is for bean dip! I do not normally care for most bean dips but this one is really, really good.

Combine one can refried (20 oz) black beans with 3/4 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese, 3/4 cup chunky thick and salsa, 2 teaspoons lime juice, 2 chopped garlic cloves, and 2 teaspoons taco seasoning mix. Spread into bottom of small (6 x6 or so) baking dish and then sprinkle with 3/4 cup or so of chopped red bell pepper and 3/4 cup or so of canned corn. Bake at 350 for 25 - 30 minutes. Top with another 1/2 cup or so of the Mexican blend cheese and 1/2 cup or so chopped red bell pepper and serve with tortilla chips.

Enjoy.
