    • 1 15 oz. can Cannellini beans
    • 1 15 oz. can light red Kidney beans
    • 4 oz. Greek yogurt
    • 5 strips bacon, about 3 oz. cooked, drained and chopped, fat reserved
    • 1 c. sharp cheddar cheese
    • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
    • 1/4 c. finely minced red onion
    • 1 tsp. Sriracha chili sauce
    • 1 tsp. cumin
    • 1 tsp. Mexican oregano
    • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
    • olive oil for drizzling
    • kosher salt and pepper to taste

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 400*F.
    2. Slice garlic bulb in half crosswise, place in foil and drizzle with olive oil. Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste. Roast until tender, about 35 minutes. Allow cooling just enough to handle.
    3. Drain and rinse beans in a colander. Place in food processor with yogurt, lemon juice, onion, Sriracha, roasted garlic and spices. Add 2 tsp. of reserved bacon fat. Process until smooth, drizzling in olive oil as needed for texture improvement or creaminess, about 4 minutes.
    4. Transfer to medium bowl and fold in bacon and cheese with a rubber spatula. Transfer to serving vessel and garnish with parsley, chives or both. Serve with pita chips, tortilla chips, naan, or whatever desired.

      This recipe may be easily made vegetarian by omitting the bacon and reserved bacon fat. The bacon may be substituted with soy bacon, and the reserved fat can be replaced by olive oil, avocado oil, walnut oil, or grapeseed oil.
