DIETITIAN'S NOTE:

Spices, flavorings, and vegetables impart a south of the border touch to this delicious casserole. To reduce fat, saturated fat and calories: (1) saute onions and garlic with beef rather than in oil. Remember to drain the meat as it browns, (2) Land O'Lakes light sour cream; and (3) try Kraft light natural cheese.
