Hot Bean Dip

As bean dips go, I'm a fan.  All too often though they aren't very flavorful. Super easy recipe, and don't bother doubling it unless you have a big crowd. I doubled it and we had half left.

This was not a spicy dish. You could totally toss in some splashes of hot sauce though to add some spice.  I had some spice wimps who were going to be at the Sunday dinner tonight, so opted to be nice to their taste buds.
