JALAPENO BEAN DIP

Ingredients:
5 small jalapeno peppers
2-1/2 cups chili hot beans, mashed
1 tbsp. oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. garlic powder

Method:

Cut off tops of peppers. Combine whole peppers and remaining ingredients in saucepan. Simmer 15 minutes, adding water if needed, to keep beans from sticking to bottom of pan. Cool mixture and remove peppers. Serve dip with fresh vegetables.
NOTE: This is a Mexican vegetable dish, but can easily be an appetizer when served with crackers.
