Mexican Bean Dip Recipe

* 1 8 oz. pkg Philly Cream Cheese, softened
* 1 cup sour cream
* 1 can refried beans
* 1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
* 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
* 2 tablespoon Lipton's onion soup mix
* 2 tablespoons chili powder
* 2 1/2 cups grated cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
* 2 tablespoons chili powder
* pinch of salt
* 1 tablespoon Tabasco (green pepper sauce)

To begin with, marinate the garlic in the hot pepper sauce (or Tabasco if you couldn’t get hold of hot pepper sauce) for about 10 mins.

In another bowl, mix together the sour cream, cream cheese, beans, cilantro, onion soup mix and chili powder.

Taste it and if necessary, add a pinch of salt. When you think it tastes good, stir in the garlic and hot pepper sauce you mixed together earlier. Garnish with cheese.
