MAKEOVER CREAMY BROCCOLI LASAGNA

Makeover Creamy Broccoli Lasagna image

This version of this casserole using less butter, fat-free milk instead of whole milk and lighter cottage cheese and Swiss cheese. It has a third fewer calories, two-thirds less cholesterol and just a quarter of the fat and saturated fat. Yet it's still creamy and delightfully satisfying.-Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin
