Baked Tex-Mex Pimento Bean Dip is my new go-to, favorite, must-have dip. And it went to the top of this list after one taste.  One taste.  It’s that good.  For me, it even surpasses crack dip/buffalo chicken dip.  Something about the smooth, creamy, cheesy, slightly spicy blend of this dip just did me in.
