2. Prepare the Bacon Mixture: In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic, chopped onion, and crumbled bacon together. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, the onions are translucent, and the bacon is crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. The bacon adds a delicious crunch and savory flavor that complements the beans beautifully. 🌟

3. Mash the Beans: In a mixing bowl, lightly mash the drained black beans with a fork or potato masher. You want some chunks to remain for texture. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of vinegar to the beans. The vinegar not only adds a tangy flavor but also helps to reduce the beans’ gas-producing properties. Mix well.

4. Add Bean Juice: Pour in 1/2 cup of the reserved black bean juice (from the cans) into the mashed beans. This will help keep the mixture moist and enhance the overall flavor. Stir to combine.

5. Combine Ingredients: Fold the bacon mixture into the beans, making sure it is evenly distributed.

6. Assemble the Dip: Spread the bean mixture evenly in a pie dish or any ovenproof baking dish. Layer the white corn evenly over the top of the bean mixture.

7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded Jalapeno Jack cheese generously over the corn layer. This will melt into a delicious, gooey topping as it bakes.

8. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The dip should be hot throughout and lightly golden on top.

9. Serve and Enjoy: Let the dip cool slightly before serving with nacho chips or your favorite dipping vehicle. The combination of savory bacon, spicy cheese, and sweet corn creates a mouthwatering dip that everyone will love.
