Weight Watchers Challenge: Bubble Up Enchiladas

I can't get the picture to turn sideways...

Ingredients you will need:
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup onion (optional)
  • 1 (10 oz) can of Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 (8 oz) can of Tomato Sauce
  • 1 can reduced-fat refrigerated biscuits
  • 1 1/4 cup reduced fat Mexican blend cheese
Directions:

Brown turkey with onion, if desired. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine turkey meat, enchilada sauce, and tomato sauce.

Cut biscuits into fourths.

Add biscuits to meat mixture and mix well.
Pour mixture into greased, 9x13 baking dish.
Bake for 25 minutes then sprinkle with cheese and bake for 5-10 minutes, or until cheese melts.

Weight Watchers Value: 10 PointsPlus

What we thought:

Brian liked everything about the recipe. He said it was very filling and a nice change from the "normal" enchilada recipe. I, on the other hand, wasn't a fan of the turkey. There was just a slight taste at the end of the bite that I do not care for. I would love to make this again using extra lean ground beef and then I think I will love this!

Weight Watchers Challenge: Low-Fat Poppyseed Chicken

Well folks, I had taken a break from Adventures in CrockPot Cooking because of this:

Follow my adventures in mommy-hood at here.

And 8 weeks later, I decided it was time to get my body back under control, so now I have begun Weight Watchers! My recipe posts will now be Weight Watchers recipes and reviews! Just because they are "Weight Watchers Meals" does not mean they can only be eaten if you are doing the program! I hope many, many people can enjoy these meals!

First up, is Poppyseed Chicken!


The ingredients you will need for this recipe are:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts - cooked and diced
  • 1 (10 oz) can low-fat Cream of Chicken soup
  • 1 cup low-fat sour cream
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
  • About 20 Reduced Fat Ritz Crackers
  • 1 tablespoon poppyseeds
Easy instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In glass baking dish, combine chicken, soup, sour cream, onion, and poultry seasoning. On top, sprinkle poppyseeds and crushed crackers. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until bubbly. Serves 4 big servings!

What we thought of it: 
At first, I had only cooked it about 20 minutes and the onions were still crisp and the seasonings hadn't all melded together. I put it back in for another 15-20 minutes and this time it was DELICIOUS! I could barely tell the difference between this "low-fat" recipe and the original recipe! This will definitely go in the recipe book for Weight Watchers meals!
