TOUCHDOWN TACO DIP
-1 can (9 oz.) bean dip
-4 ounces cream cheese, softened
-1/2 cup sour cream
-1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
-1 garlic clove, pressed
-1/4 cup (1 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
-1 plum tomato, seeded and diced
-2 green onions with tops, thinly sliced
-1/4 cup pitted ripe olives, sliced
-1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
-Additional sour cream or parsley
-Tortilla chips (optional)

**Preheat oven to 350. Using SMALL MIX ‘N SCRAPER, spread bean dip over bottom of SMALL OVAL BAKER. In CLASSIC BATTER BOWL, combine cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning mix and garlic pressed with the GARLIC PRESS; mix well.

Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over bean dip. Grate cheddar cheese over top using DELUXE CHEESE GRATER. Bake 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted.

To prepare toppings, remove stem from tomato using COOK’S CORER. Dice tomato and thinly slice green onions using UTILITY KNIFE. Slice olives using EGG SLICER PLUS. Finely chop cilantro using PIZZA CUTTER. Sprinkle tomato, onions, olives, and cilantro over dip. Garnish with additional sour cream, if desired. Serve with tortilla chips, if desired.

Thanks Jennifer! It's funny, as soon as I posted that, I saw at the bottom where it list other threads on similar topics, and the recipe was there! The recipe you posted looks like a half recipe to the one I found... it uses the Deep Dish Baker. I don't have the oval or the deep dish baker. I just have the rectangular baker. Do you think that's too big? I guess I could put it in a pyrex (shh!) dish I have that is the right size.... sigh...
 
There are 2 official versions of the recipe: one that uses a small container of bean dip and a small baker (mini baker or small oval) and the original that called for a 16 oz can of beans and the DDB. I recommend making the big batch, since it's always a big hit.
 
The only way to make it for my crew is to double the recipe using 2 15-16 oz cans of refried beans to cover the bottom of the 9x13 baker. I even use a little extra cheddar cheese so it is cheesy and yummy. I am making it today Jan 1st for all of the ball games we will be watching!
