I love dips, no question about it. Whenever I can get my hands on some Pizza Dip, my French Onion Dip, the Ranch Dip, or Crack Dip, I munch it all away in no time.

Even better, sometimes you can make a whole meal of it. Simple enough and super tasty with your favorite crackers, chips or veggies.

Why this is the best Nacho Dip

There are always two things that I want to achieve with my recipes: make a vegan version that is not just as good, but better than the real deal. And at the same it should be even much easier to make.

This Nacho Dip comes with just the right amount of spicy and creaminess.

As you know, my instructions are foolproof because I bring you step by step pictures to make your preparation so much easier.

Vegan cream cheese is mixed with black beans and corn in a large mixing bowl.

You get a result that is creamy, rich, warm, delicious – just baked to cheesy perfection.

Impressive, but so easy everyone can make it.

Perfect for any crowd, serve this and it will disappear fast.

Recommendations

Leftovers will stay fresh for 5 days. I recommend reheating your dip at low temperature in the oven or microwave it.

Layered Nacho Dip: simply use a smaller casserole and divide into layers.

Very good and addictive :) Only slight modifications, used 1 can or black beans and 1 can of pinto (all we had), used a can of Rotel for the tomatoes, added probably close to a cup of salsa and doubled the cheddar because, well I always use extra cheese. I did not make this vegan as that wasn't our intent. Overall simply, easy and worth it for nacho night!
