Low fat, its not, but I have had some success using lower fat ingredients such as milk and sour cream, though I wouldnt 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...its the best version Ive ever eaten.

Easy to make - I used no fat sour creme, and skim milk for the sauce to cut down on the fat - but did use extra old cheese rather than mild. Nice tangy flavour - turned out perfectly. Served 4 adults with side salad.
