🧀 What Makes This Dip a Fan Favorite?

Let’s just say—this dip doesn’t play around. We’re talking ultra creamy layers of beans, cheese, sour cream, and a little kick from green chilies. It’s melty, hearty, and rich with bold flavors. Once it hits the table, it vanishes. And because it’s oven-baked, you get that perfectly golden, bubbly cheese topping every time.

🛒 Ingredients Needed

Here’s what you’ll need to bring the flavor to your party table:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened – the creamy base

  • 1 cup sour cream – adds tang and richness

  • 1 (16 oz) can refried beans – the heart of the dip

  • 1 packet taco seasoning – brings all the Tex-Mex flair

  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided

  • 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese – adds spice and depth

  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies, drained – for just the right heat

  • Optional toppings: sliced green onions, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, chopped cilantro

👩‍🍳 How to Make Texas Trash Dip

Step 1: Prep the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch or similar-sized baking dish.

Step 2: Mix the Base

In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, refried beans, taco seasoning, 1 cup Mexican blend cheese, and Pepper Jack cheese. Stir in the green chilies. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Bake It Up

Spread the dip mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining 1 cup of Mexican blend cheese.

Step 4: Bake Until Bubbly

Pop it into the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the cheese on top is melted, golden, and the edges are bubbling.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Top with your favorite Tex-Mex flair—green onions, cilantro, diced tomatoes, jalapeño slices, or all of the above! Serve hot with tortilla chips.

📝 Tips & Serving Suggestions

  • Spice it up: Add a few dashes of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños to the mix if you like heat.

  • Make it a meal: Scoop it into mini tortillas for bean and cheese tacos!

  • Best chips: Thick, sturdy tortilla chips hold up best with this hearty dip.

  • Prep ahead: Assemble up to a day in advance, refrigerate, then bake when ready.

❓ FAQs

Can I make this dip in a crockpot?
Yes! Combine all ingredients and cook on low for 2–3 hours. Stir occasionally and top with cheese during the last 30 minutes.

Can I freeze it?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze leftovers in a freezer-safe container. Reheat in the oven or microwave until bubbly.
