Jalapeno Pinto Bean Dip

I've been making this pinto bean dip for sometime and it is always a crowd-pleaser, I made it yesterday while visiting friends and once again it was a hit. It's a simple recipe, however it is does have a small catch you must serve it with Doritos (Flavor is best with a Doritos vs. a tortilla chip), either Nacho or Taco works for me. A suggestion yesterday was Salsa Verde Doritos, I'm trying those next time.


Ingredients:
2 Cans of Pinto beans, drained
1 can Campbell's Cheddar Cheese soup (in the soup aisle)
1/4 cup hot water
8oz HOT Sliced Jalapenos, chopped ( I used 1/2 jar of mezzetta's)
4 to 5 dashes of Tapatio hot sauce (or your favorite hot sauce)

Directions:
Place sauce pan on medium heat, add drained pinto beans, cheddar cheese soup, water, chopped jalapenos, and hot sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes stirring frequently. Serve in bowl or tiny crock pot (warm setting) with your favorite Doritos.

TJ's Likes: Sugar, Chocolate & Coffee Bean Grinder

I shop at Trader Joe's (TJ's) twice a week, I like so many of their products. I am very fortunate that my brother works in one of their stores so he is always telling me what to purchase and giving me the heads up on new items.

Sugar, Chocolate & Coffee Bean Grinder

I saw this at my sister in laws when we went to La Jolla last month. I had seen it in the store but had forgot to ask my brother about. I don't think it's a new item but I had never tried it so I bought it and I am glad I did. 1 to 2 twist on top of my coffee in the morning is perfect you can taste the Chocolate and Coffee Beans, yum! This morning while I was rushing out of my house I left my coffee on the counter, ugh so upsetting.
