This easy spicy black bean dip only requires four ingredients and is gluten free!
By Annie Holmes
I really like a good veggie wrap, a hearty pasta dish, or a big bowl of soup! I can totally leave the meat out and be fine. My husband on the other hand, not so much. But sometimes, every now and then I can get him to eat meatless dishes without complaint, this Slow Cooker Spicy Black Bean Dip just happens to be one of them! 
This easy dip has just four ingredients! Black beans, taco seasoning, tomatoes with green chiles, and cream cheese. It is so easy you can throw it together anytime for an afternoon snack or an effortless appetizer to a party. It has a cheesy base and it is one of those set it and forget it recipes.
We had these on toastadas and then had the left overs spread on ground beef tacos, both were amazing! The hearty black beans paired with the spicy tomatoes and creamy cheese makes it an irresistible snack!
