Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 11 x 7 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Spread evenly in prepared pan and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for 35 minutes or until cheese is melted and dip is heated through.

Notes
If you prefer making your own refried beans using dried beans, try crockpot refried beans or Instant Pot refried beans. Each 16 oz. can contains about 1¾ cups so you'll need 3½ cups total.
