Instructions
- Prepare beans layer: Spread refried beans evenly as the first layer in a large serving dish, ideally an 8-inch square glass dish.

Notes
- Chilling the dip for an hour enhances flavor blending.
- For a meatier dip, add a layer of cooked seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken beneath the beans.
- Try different cheeses such as Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or Mexican blend for varied flavors.
- For dairy-free alternatives, use dairy-free sour cream and cheese substitutes.
