Yummy Bean Dip

Last night I hosted a fun socially distanced get-together of dear friends on my deck and it was the first time people other than family had been in my backyard since the Covid crisis hit. How awesome it was to be with friends again other than on walks or bike rides together! In an effort to be careful, I made separate plates of appetizers for each of us to enjoy. One of the appetizers I made were these ramekins of delicious bean dip with chips. The recipe makes more than enough for a few ramekins, so I put the remainder in a small square baking dish for my husband and son to enjoy. You and your guests are going to love it!
