"I haven't tried it yet but I found it in a coupon book and it looks quick, easy, and delicious! It would probably taste good with bacon bits in it and a side of potato soup or clam chowder. :)"

These were very good. I knew we would like them as we have had a similar dish with tuna and provolone. I liked the addition of sour cream to these though, and bell pepper. I put mine on top of Whole Grain English Muffins having enough topping for 6 halves. I also used less cheese I believe (I didn't measure) and it was fat free. The sour cream was also fat free. Made this way we were each able to enjoy 3 of these for only 6 Ww points!
