""This is an outstanding dish. I always add some shrimp and mushrooms to the dish. I know the shrimp adds more points but it is so worth it. Without the shrimp and mushrooms you get 7 points per serving on the old program. Serving size is 1 cup. Serve piping hot while it's creamiest. Happy eating.""
