Weight Watcher Ideas - Donna

Here are some of the recipes I got from Weight Watcher's last year. I'm not big on Mexican food, but I've made the Doritos casserole a few times. It's very good. I even freeze portion sizes so I don't have to eat Mexican all week. I made the black bean salsa dip once and my friends really liked it. It was a little spicy for me. I haven't tried any of the others listed.

DORITOS CASSEROLE
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb light velvetta (sliced)
2T Chili powder
1 can 98% fat free cream of chicken soup
1 can rotel
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
6 oz baked Doritos

Brown beef, add chili powder, soup and rotel. Simmer and stir. Crush Doritos . Grease 9x13 pan. Lay 1/2 Doritos on bottom layer, 1/2 meat, cheese and beans. Repeat but end with cheese.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

8 servings - 6 pts each serving

CAULIFLOWER POPPERS
1 head cauliflower cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 t ground cummin, chili powder, salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray baking sheet with Pam. Place spices in a Ziploc bag and shake cauliflower pieces. Bake 5 minutes. Stir. Bake until slightly browned.

1/2 c = 0 pts

BLACK BEAN & SALSA DIP (this is a recipe that I make all the time - the entire bowl is only 6 points!!)
1 can Black Beans (drained)
1 Jar Pace Picante (I like it with Medium)
1 can Corn


MEXICAN CHICKEN BREASTS
1 pkg taco seasoning
4-4oz skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 c salsa
1/4 c nonfat sour cream

Put taco seasoning in a plastic bag, add chicken and shake and coat. Place in a sprayed pan. Cover with salsa. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Serve with rice, salsa and sour cream.

4 pts per serving = 4 servings

OR you can put it in the crock pot all day but change the sour cream to 1/2 cup.


SPICY BISTRO STEAK SUB
1 T margarine
2 cloves minced garlic
1 lb deli roast beef
2 T ketchup
4 t Worcestershire
1/2 t dried basil and oregano
1/4 t cayenne pepper
1-12oz can dark beer
6 hoagie buns

Melt margarine (I used olive oil) add garlic. Sauté 2 minutes. Add rest of ingredients. Bring to a boil. Simmer. Drain and reserve sauce. Divide beef over buns and serve with sauce.

1 sandwich = 7 pts. (consider only eating 1/2 for 3.5 points!)
