It was originally a recipe for the old unglazed DDB which was smaller than the current glazed ones. The ingredients were doubled from the current recipe and it used a can of refried beans instead of the bean dip. - I make it (the doubled way) in the minibaker now.ChefLauraW said:On a side note, I didn't know that the Taco Dip was an older recipe. I remember seeing it in a Seasons Best in 2005. However, the other day, I was flipping through my "More Stoneware Sensations" cookbook (circa 1999) and it's in there too! Wow!
GREAT dip - my dh loves it! I could make it in the small oval baker and he'd eat it ALL!
