For quick and easy dip recipes like this, and most other recipes in my kitchen truth be told, I am a huge fan of canned beans for ease, simplicity, and time savings. If you really want to make homemade beans beginning with dry beans that you first soak and then cook, my Instant Pot Beans recipe is a big time saver if you have an one. While the recipe uses black beans, you can also use it for black eyed peas (which are not peas but are beans).
