This cheesy dip never lets on that it has only 2 g of fat per serving. Chilies and garlic kick up the flavor, making it a real crowd pleaser. Sarah Mohrman of Fort Wayne, Indiana shares the recipe.

Made this today to have in fridge for guests dropping by on weekend. Very delicious with a little 'twang' from cream cheese. I found that it needed all the juice from drained tomatoes. I used (2) 14 oz cans diced and added one small can of green chilis. Also at end, I had on hand ground chicken I had cooked earlier and added it to recipe giving it bulk and protein. I tasted it prior to adding meat to give an honest review. Will definitely make this again for superbowl party and other events. It was still quite thick adding all the tomato juice, so thinning some with more tomato juice is an option. Again, very good, hearty, tasty dip for 2 grams of fat.

This is an awesome dip! I've made it a few times and there is never any left. I serve it with hot pretzels and tortilla chips. Definitely give it a try, it will not disappoint. Plus it is super easy!

This is great. Can't stop eating it.

These get bad reviews when people give a review and don't click on the stars or hit yes or no for if they will make again. Read the instructions people.

I THOUGHT HTIS RECIPE WAS GREAT. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT GOT SUCH A BAD RATING. I COULDN'T STO EATING IT. I MADE IT FOR COWORKERS AND THEY ALL WANTED THE RECIPE. I DID ADJUST THE CHILI POWDER AND CILANTRO TO MY TASTE.
