Looking for a hearty dip? Try Thick & Chunky Cheesy Dip. Easy to make and such a crowd-pleaser for your next sports party, tailgate party, or family gathering.
The big game is right around the corner and I was scratching my head for a very easy dip to make for the day. A couple of neighbors will be coming over and I wanted to make something everyone would enjoy and easy to handle.
I didn’t want the usual dip for my guests. Something new. Something tangy and sweet and hearty with every bite.
Then I remembered about Manwich Thick and Chunky sauce and realized this would be perfect for a new kind of dip.
There are a few ingredients in this dip, but first, let me tell you about the refried beans.
I like to make my own Refried Beans. The taste is so much better and this way I know what they are made from. It’s not hard to do and whatever is leftover goes in the freezer for next time.
Homemade Refried Beans
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups of cooked pinto beans
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the beans by soaking them overnight in water. The next morning, rinse off beans and place in slow cooker with enough water to generously cover them. Sometimes I will use chicken broth instead of water. Let cook on high for about 8 hours.
- 1 cup of dry beans equals 3 cups of cooked beans
- In a large pot, saute the onions in oil and then add garlic and saute for a few minutes. Add beans and other spices. I do put some water in the pot to make them a little juicy.
- Once the beans have cooked down for a while, I will mash them with a potato masher until desired consistency. I like them a little lumpy.
- You can double or triple this recipe if you want to serve to a large crowd or put in the freezer.
Thick & Chunky Cheesy Dip
INGREDIENTS
- 3 cups of refried beans
- 1 pound of lean ground beef or turkey
- 1 can of Manwich Thick & Chunky sauce
- 1 8 oz block of Monterey Jack Cheese with Jalapenos shredded
INSTRUCTIONS
- Brown your ground beef or turkey until the pink is all gone. Add the sauce and simmer for a few minutes until cooked well.
- In a 9 x 13 pan, pour the refried beans in the bottom and then layer the sauce mix on top of that. Next, add shredded cheese on top of the mixture.
- Bake 350 degrees covered in foil for 30 minutes. Take foil off and let the top simmer a few minutes. Don’t let it brown.
- Serve with chips.
The dip is just out of this world good and so easy to make. Such a different taste to enjoy while watching your favorite sport on tv. Kids love this dip too.

Do you know if you could swap out the Pinto beans for a “five been medley”? That’s the only can I have in the house and I really don’t want to have to go out… LOL!!
I don’t think that would be a problem. Unless the beans are hard to crush even after cooking.
Cheese dips is always SO amazing. I would probably switch out the pinto beans for black though. Those are my fav 🙂
Omg now this is some food porn if I don’t say so myself!!!! This would be a total hit in my house!!!
