I love a good challenge, and these recipe refreshes do just that. I've always found ways to make recipes healthier by adding in the reduced or non-fat ingredients. My husband is probably sick of it, but he'll thank me later, he just doesn't know it yet! :) I'm a sucker for cheese dips, but knowing how much fat and calories they have just isn't appetizing to me. So I decided to "lighten" up one of the best dips, chili con queso! I can't test to see if my baby likes it yet, but it's been husband approved.

INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon butter (I used Yogurt Based Brummel and Brown)
- 1 tablespoon chopped onion
- 1 - 10 oz. can Ro-tel tomatoes with green chilies
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 cups lowfat evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt
- 8 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded
DIRECTIONS
- In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Saute the onion and tomatoes until tomatoes start to break down, about 5 minutes.
- Add in cilantro, evaporated milk, and greek yogurt. Stir to combine.
- Add in cheese and stir until it is melted.
- Serve warm with your favorite chips or crackers.
*Best if kept warm when serving so it doesn't 'harden' up
