Sausage and Black Bean Dip

1. In a food processor, mix beans, 1/4 cup sour cream, garlic, and salt. Pulse until smooth.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain. Move the sausage to a separate pot and set aside.

3. Add the black bean mixture to the Jimmy Dean sausage. Bring to medium heat and stir often until dip is hot, about 5 minutes.

4. Spoon the hot dip into a bowl and top with salsa, cheese, remaining sour cream, and cilantro.

5. Serve with chips or in a tortilla, and enjoy!

Cook's Note:

Use the leftover Jimmy Dean Sausage to make sausage patties or crumbles to serve with eggs.
