This party-time dip is a take on the classic Louisiana dish, red beans and rice. It’s almost Mexican-ish, with green chiles, chili powder and cumin. The texture of the red beans reminds you of, well, re-fried beans. Topped with spicy sausage crumbles, this Louisiana red bean dip is perfect for any get-together.
Spice It Up A Bit
I like to serve Louisiana red been dip drizzled with hot sauce. But, if you’re serving for a crowd you might want to skip that step. Or make two batches of dip. One for your friends that like a little kick and one for those that don’t.
Also try my pimento olive dip.

Instructions
- Note: I prefer to place the cooked sausage into a food processor and pulse a few times to get rid of any large clumps.

- Place remaining ingredients (but use only 1/2 cup of the cheese) into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
