Keep an eye on your cooking time. If you prefer a soupier bean, you may want to take it out around 2.5 hours. I took mine out around 4 hours and it was very thick. I can't imagine leaving it in there for 5. Still great flavor but I would have liked it a bit saucier. But despite that, Yumm! These are so delicious. They smell so amazing that its hard to stop sticking my spoon in there! We make this for a meal some times as well as taking it to potlucks.

This is a good starting point, but it needs a little help. I omit the Monterey Jack cheese and use one block of cream cheese instead. It gives the creaminess that the dip needs. I also add 2 garlic cloves. When it comes out of the oven, I salt to my taste and then add an additional sprinkle of parmasean.
