This delicious casserole is a real keeper…It’s rich and sinful tasting and very skinny! Each side serving has 101 calories and 4 grams of fat. Serve it as a side dish for chicken, beef, pork, or fish. Make it a meatless main course by cutting into 6 larger slices instead of 9 side servings. Each main course serving has 153 calories and 5 grams of fat. Check out the Skinny Facts below for both.
