This was a big hit at our Halloween party. It's a traditional layered mexican bean dip with a sour cream spider web and olive spiders . Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans |
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa |
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies (optional) |
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives (optional) |
3 tablespoons sour cream (approx amount) |
4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese |
6 -8 black olives |
6 -8 raisins |
rosemary, approx 4-inch sprig |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl mix the refried beans and about 1/3 cup of the salsa together.
2. Pour into an 8 or 9 round glass baking dish and spread.
3. Spread green chilies if using.
4. Layer on sliced olives if using.
5. Cover with remaining salsa.
6. Cover with shredded cheese.
7. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 20 min or until heated through - OR - microwave on high with vented plastic wrap for about 5 minutes.
8. While the dip is cooking make the spiders .
9. Using a toothpick poke 3 holes on opposite sides of each whole olive. (Yes I know spiders have 8 legs, not 6, but I ran out of room). Cut individual leaves off the rosemary and stick one into each hole. Then slip a raisin most of the way into the olive leaving out a small head .
10. Let the dip sit for a few minutes after removing from the oven/microwave.
11. Spoon the sour cream into a sandwich bag and clip off the corner of the bag (make it small). Start by putting a dot of sour cream in the center of your dip, then make lines starting from the center to the edge. Make 8 lines in total (like you would cut a pie). Then, starting near the center, connect the lines creating the web . When complete scatter your spiders on the web.
12. Enjoy!
