Cheesy Chorizo Bean Dip

This is a Pampered Chef recipe that we made the last time I had a PC party.  I have them periodically and my house is bursting at the seams with PC products as a result.  This would be a great dip for your Super Bowl party.

1 tsp. vegetable oil
7.5oz. chorizo sausage
6oz. Monterey jack cheese, grated
1 medium onion
1 poblano pepper
1 15oz. can pinto beans, drained
1 14.5oz. can petite diced tomatoes with jalepenos
4 garlic cloves, peeled


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Add oil to a skillet and heat until shimmering; 1-3 minutes.  Add chorizo; cook 3-4 minutes, breaking sausage into crumbles.  Drain if necessary.

Meanwhile, grate the cheese, chop the onion and dice the pepper.  Drain beans and tomatoes.  Add onion and pepper to the skillet, cook 1-2 minutes or until vegetables are crisp tender.  Slice garlic and cook for 45-60 seconds or until fragrant.  Add beans and tomatoes to the skillet and coarsely mash.  Cook 2-3 minutes or until hot.  Pour bean mixture into baking dish; top with cheese.  Bake 7-9 minutes or until cheese is melted.  Remove from oven.  Serve with tortilla chips.
