 NOTES : From Mimi:  Believe it or not, this was served at a temple dinner


 one Friday night. It was so good, I asked for the recipe. Low fat, it's


 not, but I have had some success using lower fat ingredients such as milk


 and sour cream, though I wouldn't bother with nonfat sour cream. I also use


 less cheddar than this recipe calls for...or I double everything except the


 sour cream and cheddar. Whatever works...it's the best version I've ever


 eaten.
