I made this recipe years ago when it first appeared in Cooking Light and my husband and I both enjoyed it. It tastes a lot like those bean dips served at parties in the 70's so while it is not gourmet quality it does make for a good snack while making dinner.

I just made this dip and it is disgusting. I have read over the ingredients three times and the directions and I made it just as written. It tastes bland even with extra jalapenos added. I tried adding more of everything and it is still bad. I have put it in the fridge to set overnight hoping maybe the flavors will ripen??? Yuck.
