Healthy Lentil Dip for Cheapo Cooks on a Budget! image

These days, who isn't on a budget at the grocery store? I found this recipe on the side of a bag of lentils - it's pretty good! This recipe yields a lot of dip so you may want to halve it. I prefer monterey jack cheese in this recipe but you can use whatever cheese you like!
