Possibly the biggest hit of Omar and Pam's gathering last night was the incredibly delicious Black Bean Chili Dip they served. I enjoyed it with pita, crisps and by itself.

After Pam sent out her recipe earlier, no doubt due to popular demand, I realized that in ten and a half years I have never featured a recipe on this site. That ends today.
 

Black Bean Chili Dip
by Pamela Moyer

Ingredients
  1. 15 ounce can black beans: rinsed, drained and partially mashed
  2. 1/2 cup drained whole kernel corn or fiesta corn with diced peppers
  3. 1/3 cup thick and chunky medium spiced salsa — I used a little more
  4. 1/4 cup water — I used a little less
  5. 3 teaspoons chili powder
  6. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper — optional
  7. 1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  8. 3 tablespoons canned diced green chilies
  9. cooking spray
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Combine black beans, corn, salsa, water, chili powder and cayenne.
  3. Pour into a small casserole dish. I used an 8-inch round; smaller is better.
  4. Sprinkle with cheese and chilies.
  5. Cover and bake for 20–30 minutes; until dip is bubbly, cheese is melted.
  6. Uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes.

 
In my haste to devour the deliciousness, I failed to take a photograph of yesterday's dish. If you make it, please send me a photo of your results!
