• 1/4 cup skim milk
• 1 tablespoon light butter
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Bacon:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped turkey bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat on a paper towel and set aside.

4. Season and Serve:
   • After cooking, taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
5. Enjoy!
   • Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy a creamy, cheesy, and savory treat with a lower calorie count!
