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.
