7 Layer Dip with Homemade Baked Beans

To make the refried beans, drain + rinse the can of black beans and transfer to a medium-sized bowl. Use a fork or hand mixer to roughly mash the beans to desired consistency. Add olive oil, black beans, & diced red onion to a pot over medium-high heat. Cook for 5 minutes until the onion + beans soften, and become fragrant. Add all of the spices, cooking for another 1 – 2 minutes. Stir in the hot sauce + lemon juice, stir and cook to combine the liquid. Add the heavy cream, cooking for another 1 – 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to 9x13 in glass casserole dish.  Spread evenly and allow to cool in the fridge.
