Best-Ever Black Bean Dip
1 can refried black beans
1 can whole black beans (rinsed and strained)
1/4 c. salsa (mild, medium or hot—you choose!)
8-10 drops hot pepper sauce (or, to taste)
1/8 c. finely diced white or yellow onion
2-3 sprigs fresh cilantro, finely minced
1 clove garlic (finely minced or crushed)
1/2 c. shredded cheese (cheddar or monterey jack)
Combine all ingredients (except shredded cheese) in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until heated through.

1 package imitation crab meat, cut into bite-size pieces
1 c. mayonnaise
1-1/2 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
1 t. Dijon mustard
1/2 can water chestnuts, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 containers of Hungry Jack® biscuits
Combine all ingredients (except biscuit dough) in a bowl. Separate biscuit dough (you can see from the way the dough comes out of the container where to separate the pieces, because there are little perforations in the dough). Once dough is separated into individual pieces, split each in half (so they're less thick than a regular biscuit would be). Place biscuit halves on ungreased cookie sheets, and spoon crab mixture onto each biscuit half. Bake according to instructions on biscuit container.
