The Skinny on "Mama's Bean Dip":


Whenever there is a party, get-together or Super Bowl, I'm always asked to make this.  The combination of the beans, the salsa, cream cheese, etc is the perfect combination!  I discovered this recipe over 20 years ago, but of course I made it my own and this is not the original recipe.

I highly recommend this if you are going to some sort of party or get-together....it's too easy not to make it!!


Buon Appetito,
