We double this bean dip recipe whenever we make it because it heats up well (if there's any left!).

1cupshredded cheddar cheese
1cupshredded Monterey Jack cheese

1Tablespoonchili powder or taco seasoningoptional**
Instructions
In a medium pot, add refried beans, salsa, cheeses, and onions. (Reserve some of the cheese and onions for topping / garnish.) Mix to combine.
Cover pot and heat on low, stirring occasionally, for around 15 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
Remove from heat and transfer to serving dish. Top with extra cheese and onions. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or tortillas.
Notes
*You may not need this much salsa. I like refried beans dips on the thinner / creamy dip side, so add a little salsa at at time until you get the consistency you like. It will get thinner as the beans heat up and the cheese melts, too.**We often make this dip without the chili powder or taco seasoning if we are using spicy salsa (that seems to add enough seasoning).
