🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

Heat a medium-sized skillet on low to medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil.

Add about 3 tablespoons of flour to the skillet and mix to create a paste.

If the paste is too thick, add more oil; if too thin, add more flour.

Slowly add 2 cups of milk to the paste while continuously stirring to avoid lumps.

Add 4 ounces of cheddar cheese to the mixture and stir until melted, keeping the heat low to prevent boiling.

Set the cheese mixture aside once it is smooth and cheesy-looking.

Grease a 7 by 11 baking dish with a little olive oil.

Slice 2 small potatoes very thin using a slicer, creating a first layer in the baking dish.

Slice half of a 13-ounce turkey kielbasa and layer it on top of the potatoes.

Pour half of the cheese mixture over the kielbasa layer.

Add another layer of sliced potatoes on top of the cheese mixture.

Slice the remaining half of the kielbasa and layer it on top of the second potato layer.

Pour the remaining cheese mixture over the top layer.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, remove the foil and top with 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese.

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
