The recipe was very good, and the fat is reduced from what it would be if you didn't use light cheese or fat free milk. However, it still has quite a lot of fat and calories and isn't really good for anyone trying to watch their figure.

I've been making this for years and I add chopped green chili and chopped polska kielbasa sausage. I serve it as the main dish and get many compliments.
