Skinny Queso Recipe
It is just too hard not to want to dip watching Football on Sundays. I have tried just dipping veggies in hummus, carrots in skinny ranch, baked chips and salsa, and as much as I love of those things, I just can’t resist queso. Literally I have to save points for it every weekend because someone inevitably brings queso, and I have to eat it whether it is delicious and homemade or out of a jar. My favorite kind of queso is homemade, has no beans or meat, and has lots of spice, so this recipe mirrors that. However, you could easy saute some hamburger to start the recipe, or throw in some beans. Make it however you like it. I adapted this recipe from one that was passed around at a WW meeting, adding lots more spice. If you don’t want it quite as spicy, eliminate the jalapeno.
