If you add in some garlic powder, chives, and bacon bits it's like a baked potato casserole. Super tasty with sour cream on top as well!

Likingit2 You DO NOT LOSE FLAVOR by using Smart Balance, low-fat cheddar cheese and 2% milk. Wonderful and quick!!!

Likingit2 I use Smart Balance,not butter, skim milk cheese and cut down on water and use 2% milk. You do not use flavor and it is not so rich. Tastes excellent and easy to prepare!!!

Can sour cream be used instead of heavy cream?

Fat content: Butter - 92 GR, Cream - 44 GR, Cheese - 56 GR = 192/6 servings = 32 GR of fat, probably tastes pretty good but definitely not a good choice for anyone!

Sounds good but it seems like most of these receipes have a lot of butter, cheese, eggs, sugar & fattening ingredients. I know you can substitute but geeze!!!

If you belong to weight watchers you can figure the nutritional value by using their recipe builder and seriously - it does not take long - you can do this with any recipe and it does not take long. eliminate those that you know you should avoid and use the builder for the others - soon you will know for yourself - god mental exercise
