"I love bean dips and came up with this one last night for our movie evening at home. It turned out very tasty and we gobbled it up! The time I included for cooking is for the sauteing, not the reheating in the microwave."

Serves:: 4

ingredients

4 garlic cloves, minced
¹⁄₂ mild onion, chopped fine
5 pieces of lean turkey bacon (cut small)
1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (or your choice)
¹⁄₂ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
¹⁄₂ tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 (16 ounce) package frozen corn (thawed)
1 (8 ounce) package jalapeno jack cheese (non-dairy)
1 (7 ounce) package tortilla chips
1 (16 ounce) bottle salsa (optional)

directions

Saute the onion for a few minutes. Then add the chopped bacon and cook for a few more minutes. Add the garlic and saute for a few more minutes.
Add the beans to a large bowl and mash them with the vinegar. This supposedly degases the beans. I found it did work.
Once the beans are mashed add back some of the liquid from the beans. Try adding a little at a time until you get a nice consistency. Don't over mash the beans.
Add in the cooked bacon/onion/garlic mixture and mix it up well.
In the bottom of a microwave safe dish layer some tortilla chips on the bottom and pour some of the bean/onion/bacon dip over the chips. Then shred some of the cheese on top.
Repeat the layers and top with cheese. You can also add a little salsa between the layers if you like.
Place in the microwave and place a loose fitting cover over top but not touching the food.
Set to reheat. When the dish is heated through it's ready.
Bon Appetite!

<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> I was born in northern Ontario in Canada. I am of Irish /Spanish/French Canadian descent. In 2002, myself, my hubby Stu, and our dog Ginger moved to the high desert of New Mexico. I am a Domestic Engineer and a Professional Artist. I enjoy oldies, classical and jazz music. My hubby is a Professional Jazz and Classical Musician. He plays with the Albuquerque Philharmonic Orchestra which is wonderful because I get to see all his concerts and they are free! We are trying our best to live a Green and Sustainable lifestyle which is no easy feat in a desert. I love any cookbook that promotes good health and tasty meals. I enjoy pasta dishes and sweet vegan deserts. I have found that I am very successful in converting conventional recipes to vegan. This has allowed me to enjoy all types of foods that I other wise could not. Some day we would like to relocate to upstate New York and be closer to my family in Canada and my husbands in New York. My DH retires in 9 years, so nothing will stop us from heading home then :-)
