Why Greek Yogurt?
Girl, we are all about cream cheese, but let me give you a little secret…Greek yogurt is pretty great itself! Greek yogurt is a great sub for cream cheese for a few reasons:
- Packs in the protein
- Less fat
- Creamy as can be!
Want to use cream cheese instead? Feel free to swap the Greek yogurt 1:1 with your favorite cream cheese!

Oh, this is a very interesting article. I always like to ride a bike. Because of my hobby, I will keep this information on my sheet. But before that, I want to know about bitcoin. I have some doubt about bitcoin, I want to dispel it. By the way, I know the site https://casinosanalyzer.kr/slots-online/bitcoin. It is great for all the help related to the casino. But I want to clarify to you about bitcoin. I hope you will pay attention to this.
This was pretty good. It didn’t have as much flavor as I would have liked. May be adding some more spice to it if I make it again.
This dip is delicious! I only had kidney beans not pinto but still super yummy!
Super easy to make! This was a hit!
It was great!! It was a hit! Easy to make and with great ingrediants!!!
Delicious and easy to make!
This recipe was unfortunately disappointing- very dry and basically a baked chili. Not a dip as it did not have the consistency for a dip. And the flavor was not really there either, quite bland.
Very nice
I made this recipe for a game night with friends and everyone LOVED it! I’d like to make it again, but the recipe is not being displayed for some reason. I can see the heading for the post, then the comments section, but the blog post and recipe are gone 😢 Is it me??
Hi! So sorry we were having issues the other. Hopefully, you were still able to make this after we got things fixed!
Another amazingly healthy delicious dish! Huge hit and honestly can’t believe how flavorful it is! Will be making again!
Delicious and simple to make. Love this recipe!
Looks like too muh cheese, but cheese is never engough 😀
Uff da, the packer talk is not my thing, but i love a good dip!
Go Pack Go!!! I definitely think I will make this for the game Sunday
🙂 🙂 GO PACKIEEE!!!!
Yum! The hubs and I LOVE chili cheese dip so I can’t wait to try this healthier version. Will let you know how it goes!
I’m also getting more into beer (because of my man’s love for it) but feel ya on staying away from all the hops…You should give Belgians a shot, I think you might like them! I’ve also been getting into gose-style beers that are similar to sours.
Happy weekend!
Interesting. Will have to order a Belgian the next time I’m out!
You have officially become my favorite blogger. Will be making this Sunday. GO PACK ?????
YEAHHHHH BUDDDDDDY.
Well. You’ve lost a faithful reader today. BEAR DOWN CHICAGO BEARS!!!!
But really. I loooove the original version of this dish (I remember making it in my dorm room in a tiny toaster oven when the Bears were in the Super Bowl in 2007). I’ll definitely make the lightened up version this year!
LOL. Hey, my parents were born and raised in Chicago, so they are unfortunately Bears fans. In fact, you should see my dad’s ski outfit. LOLOLOL.
YUM…That is ALL! Have a beautiful weekend friend! XOXO
