Diabetic and Heart Healthy Vegetarian Recipes-How To Cook Chili con Queso Dip Recipe

This cheesy dip never lets on that it has only 2 g of fat per serving. Plus, the chilies and garlic kick up the flavor, making it a real “what happened to the dip-recipe.”

Make this dip as hot or mild as you like. I always add some hot sauce in the ingredients.
YUMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm Good!
