My family devoured this casserole and there wasn't any left. It was delicious and low carb. This is easy to make, relatively low carb, and crazy delicious. The higher the fat content in the dairy items, the lower the carb. So, it's a trade of off your own preference. We went for full fat and almost no carb. Enjoy, however you prefer.

Any true low carver would not use low fat cheese or light sour cream due to the sugar that is added to these ingredients when the fat is removed. 17 net carb per serving is far from low carb especially considering there is very little vegetable in the dish.

Great tasting casserole. The topping is the best

I have two teenage children and am very happily married. We live in Southern, Ontario.  I live to cook and just love to putter around the kitchen. I enjoy reading all kinds of cookbooks which I borrow from the library or buy second hand. I really like Taste of Home magazine, because the recipes are from ordinary people and aren't too complicated. I also like to read community or church cookbooks because you know that the recipe must be special for someone to share it. I discovered RecipeZaar because it was mentioned by someone in a cooking magazine...now I am hooked. I think it is so helpful to read the reviews and suggestions from others who have tried recipes before me. I always thought of myself as a pretty good cook, but I am learning so much since I have joined RecipeZaar. I really appreciate the ideas and feed back that everyone provides. 114172283"
