Mexican Casserole - Weight Watchers

This is a very different variation of "Mexican Casserole - 6.5 Weight Watcher Points". This is a little easier and quicker and I wanted to see the nutritional info on it. This is a great WW recipe as it's high in fiber, low in fat and is very filling. This can be OAMC as it freezes and reheats well after cooking. I havn't tried freezing before cooking though. It could also easily be made vegetarian simply by subbing the hamburger for another type of bean or meat substitute. Edited to add that these are very large servings and I calculated them to be only 7.5 points each if calculated using only 4 servings.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Awesome! I did add 1/2 of a 3oz can of jalepeno's to the recipe for just that added kick. We had smaller portions and made it into tacos but I could easily see leftovers served with lettuce for a taco salad for lunch. It filled my skillet, so it's more than enough for four - if not six. Also, may try adding Rosarita 98% Fat Free Spicy Refried beans - 2pts for 1/2 cp.

    Wonderful comfort food. Instead of using sour cream I used 1/2 cup 1 % yougurt(plain) and 1% cottaged cheese - worked well. I didn't add any cheese at the end. We really enjoyed this dish- upped the chili a bit. Definately a do again recipe

    This was good and easy to make but next time I think I would add some seasoning to the ground beef like maybe some taco seasoning. I think my family would have enjoyed it a bit more also if it had some pasta in it. I followed the recipe exactly as written other then I used regular sour cream and cheddar cheese as that is what I had on hand.

    I get 9 points per serving. It might be because you can only count the first 4 points of fiber. I also checked this on the weight watchers site and got 9 points.
