Introduction
This recipe was originally posted on Real Simple's site. I adapted it for a lower-fat lifestyle by using lower fat cheeses. You can also have it as a main dish and add either lean ground beef or extra lean white meat ground turkey. This recipe was originally posted on Real Simple's site.
