CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Amazing ATE-Layer Dip
Skinny Dip!
We're serious suckers for layers of cheesy, bean-packed, meaty stuff we can
dip crisp veggies and baked chips into (yay!). This dip happens to be so
delicious, that we've been wrapping it up in high-fiber tortillas and even
eating it straight. And why stop at seven measly layers? HG has upped the
ante, adding an eighth guilt-free layer to this fun fiesta food. Pay extra close
attention to our most valuable layer (sorry, we had to!), spiced mashed
butternut squash; it makes the perfect swap for refried beans.
Ingredients:
4 cups shredded lettuce
4 oz. fat-free sour cream
1 cup canned black beans; heated
10 oz. (about 2 and a 1/2 cups) butternut squash cubes
2 cups cherry tomatoes; chopped
1 cup diced onion
4 oz. roasted red peppers (not packed in oil); chopped
1 pouch (4 oz.) BOCA Ground Burger (or another ground meat substitute,
like the Morningstar Farms version**)
1 oz. Galaxy Veggie Shreds, Cheddar (or another low-calorie cheddar
cheese**)
3 and a 1/2 tsp. taco seasoning
Optional: lime juice, salt, and pepper
Directions:
Begin by combining half of the tomatoes with all of the onion. If desired,
season to taste with salt, pepper, and lime juice; set aside. Next, nuke
squash in a covered microwave-safe dish with 2 tbsp. water for 6 - 7 minutes
(until squash is tender enough to mash). Using a fork or potato masher,
mash squash to a pulp. Mix in 1 and a 1/2 tsp. of the taco seasoning and set
aside. In a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray, combine Boca Ground Burger,
tomatoes and the remaining 2 tsp. of taco seasoning and cook until crumbles
are defrosted and mixture is thoroughly heated. In a large dish, layer
ingredients in this order: lettuce, butternut squash mixture, tomato/onion
mix, sour cream, black beans, "meat" mixture, cheese shreds, red peppers.
Delicious served hot or cold! Makes approximately eight 1-cup servings!

FIGHT IT!
Traditional 7-Layer Dip
7-Layer Loser
We've all fallen victim to ginormous bowls of Mexican-inspired layer dip (you
know it's REALLY bad when the hostess offers to let you take the rest home
in Tupperware...and even worse when you agree). But who can resist all
those crazy flavors together in each bite? Plus, there's something about food
that doesn't require a fork that makes it seem less bad for you than it
actually is. So how bad is 7-layer dip, you ask? Try about 400 calories and
30 fat grams per cup bad! And don't forget the EXTRA fat and calories that
come courtesy of whatever you're dipping into that scary stuff. Lose the 7-
layer addiction and get hooked on HG's Amazing Ate-Layer Dip, instead!
