Recipe - Cheesy Bean Dip
Makes 4 cups (1 serving = 2 tablespoons)
- 1-1/2 cup (6 oz) reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend, shredded
- 1-1/2 cup (6 oz) reduced-fat cheddar, shredded
- 1 can (16 oz) fat-free refried beans
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 pkg (8 oz) reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed
- 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
Combine the shredded cheeses and set aside 1 cup for topping. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
Transfer to a 2 quart baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle with reserved cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly. Serve warm with pita chips or crackers.
Notes:
Since this is served warm, I've found that fat-free cream cheese and fat-free sour cream work well also. Sometimes you have to worry about the texture of fat-free cream cheese, but it doesn't bother us in this dish.
