Low Sodium

I'm looking for appetizer recipes to serve at our BONYE Mafia party. I was just thumbing through a Crock-Pot cookbook my mother gave me a couple years ago (bc I just unearthed it from the upstairs bookcase.) I like the health tip at the end of it.

Mexican Bean and Cheese Dip

15-oz can refried beans
8 oz jar taco sauce
1 lb. velveeta cheese, cubed
1 pkg. dry taco seasoning

Combine ingredients in slow cooker. Cover, cook 2-3 hrs. Serve warm from the cooker with tortilla chips.

Note: If you're cautious about salt, choose minimally salted chips.

Let me translate this recipe for you.

Mexican Salt Dip

15-oz can beans dredged in salt then fried
8 oz jar liquid salt, taco style
1 lb. gelatinous cheese-flavored salt lick
1 pkg. taco-flavored salt

Combine ingredients in slow cooker. Cover, cook 2-3 hrs. Serve warm from the cooker with tortilla chips.

Note: If you're cautious about salt, maybe skip this recipe.

Ewww...if you're cautious about living, skip this recipe. Velveeta is gross. And so are refried beans. I doooo like taco sauce though.

Wait...so does this mean you're not making that for us?

That's a fantastic warning. They should have them at McDonald's...
