Some girlfriends and I decided to start a cooking club. We had a potluck dinner in December and found out that we all, well most of us, loved cooking! We've know each other for 20 years and are just finding this out - ha! Makes me laugh. Anyways, last night was the first meet up and it was a total success! The theme was Mexican food - my absolute favorite! I was tasked with creating a side dish and since I anticipated lots of cheese, sour cream and yummy goodness I wanted to make mine low fat. I made Refried Bean Bake - easy and yummy (I think I say "easy and yummy" all the time, that will be the name of my first cookbook 
) (Excuse this floating smiley, I'm still learning this stuff)
I didn't get a picture of the final dish because we were all starving and dug right in, so just picture a gooey, cheesy bean dip - so good!

| Ready to bake |
- Bake for 10 minutes

- Top with remaining cheese and bake an additional 3-5 minute, until cheese is melted
- Sprinkle with green onions
