Crockpot Texas Bean Dip

It’s that time of year when the world falls in love and potlucks abound.

The festivities can add a lot of crazy to your already full schedule, so it’s important to have a dish that’s 1) ridiculously easy and 2) ridiculously yummy.

We’ve got both of those covered with this little gem.

I don’t know exactly where this bean dip came from, but if I had to guess, I’d say from bean dip heaven. It’s been in the family for years-I can’t remember a Bear Lake summer or a New Years appetizer dinner without it. And I have to tell you, I’ve never brought it ANYWHERE without someone asking me what’s in it and if they can have the recipe. It’s just that good.

And there’s a good chance you already have just about everything you need to make it sitting in your sweet little pantry right now.
