I may try substituting fat free sour cream for the mayonaise in the dip next time I make it. Also, these are good fresh out of the oven, but I don't know that they would reheat well.
ReplyDeleteTried the sour cream substitution. I thought it tasted all right, but Yancy preferred the mayonnaise (he noticed the change without my pointing out it was different). Maybe a combination.
ReplyDeleteThis is the old recipe. I made some great changes this time around that are reflected in the recipe above.
