I asked my friend, Cindi, where she got this recipe and she told me she and her friend have been serving this dish for years and it came from a church potluck years ago. Well, off course it did!

This is my kind of dip! Don’t get me wrong, I love all the over-the-top super cheesy dips too, but I don’t love how I feel after eating them. I’d much rather have something like this, and be able to guiltlessly go back for seconds (and thirds!).
Yes, this one definately does not hurt my stomach! Hope you enjoy it!
My son would love this! He eats just about any kind of beans and anytime he can eat chips, he’s happy. This would be a definite win!!
My son is the SAME way!!
This is ideal for the big game or any get together. Sounds so good!
Perfect for Super Bowl!
