this recipe was absolutely delish! i used low fat sour cream instead of cottage cheese! i also just used some of my frozed vegetables (california mix), and spiced them up with a little more garlic. then at the end topped with bacon bits, it was fabulous! i was told to make this again very soon! - 11/12/09
