Recipe Makeover: Bubble Up Enchilada Casserole

Bubble Up Enchilada Casserole

You may be thinking “haven’t I see this recipe on here before?” and if you are, the answer is…kind of. Bubble Up Enchilada Casserole is one of the first recipes I ever posted and it’s been one of the most popular as well. While I’ve always been a big fan of the flavors (what’s not to like?) I never found the original very filling for the points. I actually wavered about whether to post it in the first place. When people would rave about the recipe, I used to think “really?” because although it was delicious, it just didn’t satisfy me.

I’ve been meaning to make some adjustments to the recipe for a while now, especially since some of the ingredients I originally used have become difficult to find. This time I used leaner ground turkey (and more of it), regular (as opposed to reduced fat) biscuits, a little less cheese and I added a can of black beans to make the dish more filling. I know a lot of people really liked the original recipe, but I urge you to try it this way – it’s so much better!  I was definitely satisfied with one serving and I loved the addition of black beans to the flavor profile. This is the way I wish the recipe had turned out the first time! I’m keeping the old version on the site, but even if you loved it that way I think you should give this makeover a try. You won’t regret it! To view your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site, click here!
