Weekly Eats

I've set a small goal to attempt one new recipe a week. This week its Bubble-up Enchilada Casserole from EmilyBites.Com (a Weight Watchers' Favorite)  Of course I had to change a few things (based on the supplies that I had handy) and mine is not quite as low points wise...but considering the portion size(it's pretty big for a main course)...and if you include your own veggies or salad....12 points is not too shabby.  ENJOY!


recipe adapted from emilybites.com

Ingredients:

24oz ground turkey
1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce 
8oz tomato puree (or tomato sauce) 
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (7.5 oz) can refrigerator biscuits, cut into quarters (I used my store brand “Homestyle” biscuits)
1 cup shredded Mexican Cheese
Cumin, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Red Pepper Flakes (and any other seasonings of your choice)



 Directions:1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly mist a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Season & Brown turkey in a large skillet or sauté pan.
3. Add the enchilada sauce, tomato puree and black beans and stir to combine. Stir the biscuit pieces into the meat mixture.


4. Transfer the entire mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly.


 5.  Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake an additional 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.


And once it was all done...you know Mr. M & I just couldn't resist a sample!
