Skillet Bean and Cheese Dip with Pull Apart Bread is a complete appetizer in one pan. Gooey cheese, buttery beans with bread to dip baked right in. Best dip ever!
28 ounce tubes premade crescent roll dough (I used the crescent roll sheets but you can use any kind)
8ounces1/2 can Old El Paso refried beans
2ounces1/2 can Old El Paso green chiles
4ounceschihuahua cheesecubed

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F
Spray a cast iron skillet with nonstick spray or coat with butter.
On a floured surface, roll out crescent dough. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and line the edge of the skillet with the dough.
On the inside of the skillet, surrounded by the dough balls, spoon out the bean dip and spread to fill the center.
Top the beans with the green chilis and then both types of cheese.
Brush the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with garlic pepper and cilantro.
Bake for 17-20 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and dough is cooked/beginning to brown.
Switch the oven to broil and allow to broil for about 5 minutes. Watch this step closely to make sure it doesn't burn. You want the rolls to brown and the cheese to bubble, but you don't want to char your bread!
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. The bread and skillet will be very hot, so be careful!
Serve warm garnished with more cilantro and tomatoes. Enjoy!
