Eat This: Weight Watchers Layered Mexican Bean Dip

I'm all about trying to cut cals or carbs or whatever to, ultimately, cut the lbs. I found this recipe on the Weight Watchers website http://www.weightwatchers.com/food/index.aspx. I made for the first time for a Super Bowl party at my second dwelling--the Meyers'. My bitchu-buddy Matt loves it so much and was so upset that I made it when he was in Europe for his bachelor party. People don't believe that it's a WW recipe. It tastes naughty, and I am pro-naughty. It also looks awesome if you use a clear baking dish or bowl as the layers are visible. I always double the recipe because it goes so quickly! Try it, and thank me later :)
