This was a church potluck in a bite! Very good and easy to make. I doubled the recipe and used plain sour cream and sour cream with chives. I didn't use any low fat/low sodium, just the regular stuff. I only had to heat the soup/cheese mixture in the microwave for 2 1/2 mins and it was plenty melted. We had this for dinner with steak and veggies, then in breakfast burritos which was amazing, then again with rotisserie chicken and green beans. Very easy and I think you could even freeze it without the topping then just take out and bake. Made for PAC Fall 2012
