Hot & Cheesy Bean Dip
If you don’t have an occasion to make this Hot & Cheesy Bean Dip coming up, you should probably plan something now. Even if the occasion is “it’s Thursday!” or “it’s 6:37 PM!” or whatever. It’s worth it. This skinny version of one of everyone’s favorite hot dips is every bit as cheesy, hearty, and creamy as the original and you can have a generous serving of it for just a little over 100 calories. I brought some to my boyfriend’s house for the basketball game last night and even though he knew I’d made it for my blog he asked me if it was really a light version because he couldn’t believe it. You won’t believe it either! To view your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site, click here!
