Texas Trash Dip (Warm Bean Dip)

What’s Texas Trash Dip? It’s a creamy warm bean dip packed with flavor and topped with all sorts of ooey gooey cheese, baked to dipping perfection. I could make a meal out of this dip!
I truly have no idea where the name of this dip came from or why it’s called “trash” when clearly it’s full of nothing but ooey-gooey cheesy GOODness. I have seen it everywhere, from Pinterest to just about every church cookbook.
Some versions differ slightly, but this is the one we are fond of. I mean, what’s not to love? Refried beans, cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning and lots of CHEESE!
This is a go-to for me when we have company over, or when I need to take something to a get-together. What makes it easy is you can whip it up way ahead of time, using a disposable foil baking dish and there is no mess when you’re done. Nothing to clean up, once the last little bit of dip is gone, simply recycle the pan, done and done!
Box Tops for Education:
Hefty® and Reynolds® are always there when you need them, and now you can save your school and your kitchen at the same time! I am sure, by now, you have heard about Box Tops for Education?
So many products we purchase every day have that little clip-able box top square, and collecting them is so easy, and beneficial to our kids’ schools!
We are seasoned pros when it comes to clipping the box tops from the products we use all of the time. Box Tops for Education is one of America’s largest school earnings loyalty programs and has contributed millions of dollars to participating schools since the launch of the program in 1996.
There are no stipulations on what the schools spend money on. Each box top is worth 10 cents to your school, let me tell you, that adds up FAST. We keep a little plastic container in one of our kitchen drawers, and clip them off as the products are used, drop them in, and take them to school when the container gets full.
Our school has used the money from box tops for everything from playground equipment to computers.
^^ LOVE IT? PIN IT!! ^^
We had some family over for a pool day a couple of weeks ago, and I whipped up this bean dip that morning, and popped it in the oven that afternoon for a poolside snack. To say it didn’t last long would be an understatement! But it never does.

Oh how I love cheesy dips, this sounds amazing, can’t wait to try it!
Enjoy!
This looks awesome! I love dips and I have to say that sometimes I eat them for lunch. And you just reminded me that I need more parchment paper. 🙂
Oh my gosh, chips and dips are my drug of choice! I love how easy it is too!
We have that in common! 😉
Oh I didn’t realize these products had box tops on them as well!!!!! And this dip sounds AMAZING!!!!
Thanks, Angela!!
I’m going to have to go to the grocery store now for the ingredients to make this dip. It looks so. good. Even better? I know I’ll be earning a lot of great box tops for my kids on products I regularly need and use.
Dips are my favorite thing to make for parties! And im always looking for new ideas and this looks amazing! Plus my kids thinks the name is cool!
Ha! Yea– it is super duper goodb
This dip is really good! I add cooked hamburger and it’s now a meal….
Do you think I can make this and freeze it?
I have not tried it – but I think it would work? If you try it please let me know!!
Any results on the freezer test? I was thinking of making mini burritos like you buy in the store with this?
I haven’t — but that sounds AWESOME!
Delicious dip! Family loved it!
Added some cumin and hot sauce for the spice-loving people.
Yummy!
great idea!! Happy you loved it!
This is fantatistic! Seriously, the yum factor is out of this world. I use a super sharp cheddar and Colby jack for the cheeses and substitute 1 can of lightly drained spicy chili beans for one o the cans of refried beans. Sometimes I add more taco seasoning. Next time I make it I’m going to add chorizo and sub pepper jack for the Colby jack.
Would this work in a slow cooker?
I have never tried it? I think it would? If you try it will you come back and let me know the results?
I made a rendition of this (of course I had to put my own twist) and did it in my crock pot. It turned out amazing! I do my cooking with patience, so I did the crock on low for 3- 4 hours while I made the rest of the party foods.
Sounds great!
Have you ever made this with lower fat or fat free cream cheese and or sour cream? I have a diet conscience guest coming and thought maybe I could make two versions… just wondering how it would be texture and taste wise without the fat
It works both ways. You can use fat free refried beans too. It might. It be quite as thick, but it will be fine!
Fantastic! Thank you so much for your reply. It does not got unnoticed ????
Never been crazy about bean dip but this is amazing. Love it. Super easy.
It really is, isn’t it?? Happy you loved it, too!
Is there a way to cut this recipe in half?
Just use half of the ingredients.
There is nothing better than opening your page when I have no clue or simply run out o ideas, and I find something delicious and easy to make. Thanks
Comments like this make everything I do so worth it! Thank you, Estela!
This looks great and a little more filling than other dips. I can’t wait to try it. Thanks.
Hope you love it!
Hello…..love this recipe…..can youput hamburger in this recipe???
I personally have never put hamburger in it. But I bet it would be delicious!! Let me know if you try it?
How perfect is this for game day?! Or when teenagers are around!
Made this last night. I used Fritos instead of tortilla chips. So cheesy, creamy and delicious.
Traci- thank you for the comment! Happy you loved it!
What a good reminder to clip box tops. I never remember to do it!
