weight watcher recipes
I think it’s ok to re-visit your favorite recipes. I’ve had this recipe on my blog once before. I made this using my favorite Enchilada sauce ever. Sure…. I could go and make my own (which I’d like to try someday), but this is so much easier. It’s a very spicy Enchilada sauce and I get at least 2 jars of it, whenever I go to Minneapolis to visit my brother. Sometimes, he’ll even bring me home a whole list of Trader Joe’s stuff that I send to him. Doesn’t he sound like the nicest brother ever?
You can do a lot with this kind of recipe. Instead of enchiladas you could make a chicken pot pie or pizza. Add some beans or corn to the beef mixture to get some more fiber in. I haven’t tried the chicken pot pie or pizza version yet, but I think that might have to be on the menu for next week. A chicken pot pie sounds good right now.
I think this photo is a lot better than what my food photography used to be. See the old version here.
Note: Pictures of recipe instructions updated as of 5/2/2012. I was getting so many questions about the recipe I decided to update the post.
Start off with browning some ground turkey or beef, whichever you prefer.
Open a can of biscuits and cut the biscuits into 4ths, like the picture shows above.
Add in your favorite jar/can of enchilada sauce. Or if you’re feeling up to it make your own. Here you can also add in other ingredients to, like corn or black beans.
Layer your biscuits on the bottom of the dish and spread the biscuits out.
Add in the beef mixture on top of the biscuits.
Then top it with some cheese and bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 350. Serve with your favorite taco toppings.

Weight Watcher Recipes 6 points (old points)
Points Plus: 10
Serves 6
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
1 (8oz ) can of tomato sauce (this optional, I do not use this but the recipe says to add it in with the enchilada sauce)
1 16 oz can reduced fat refrigerator biscuits
1 ¼ cups shredded low fat Mexican Cheese
Extra Ingredients
Green Onions, black olives, salsa, etc.
Fat Free Sour Cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown turkey and drain if needed. Mix in a can of enchilada sauce and tomato sauce. Cut the refrigerated biscuits into fourths and stir them in the meat mixture. Then you just dump it all in a greased casserole (I use 8 X 11) and bake for 25 minutes until the biscuits are cooked through. Usually I use a tooth pick to see if the biscuits are done. Take out of oven and sprinkle cheese on top. Bake an additional 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes: Add in a can of black beans or corn (when the beef is cooking in the pan), or sprinkle with some green onions. Top with a tablespoon of fat free sour cream.
You can make into 8 servings

What do you mean by “cut biscuits into 4ths”? Do you mean 4 thinner round slices? Or cutting vertically and horizontally across the biscuit so each fourth has a right angle and a round edge?
Hi Lucy, You just take the biscuit and cut it in half (not horizontally). Then into 4ths like you’re cutting into a pie or pizza. Hope that helps!

yummm I made this for dinner last night, even the little boys loved it and that is saying something.
I was VERY disappointed with this dish. It lacked flavor and was more of a tasteless casserole then enchiladas. I followed the recipe and would make A LOT of changes if I ever had it in me to make again.
If you ever decide to make it again then change it to what you like.
I absolutely loved this! And it’s sooo quick and easy to make! : )
I wouldn’t call this an Enchilada anything. Its a Biscuit casserole. Make it with spaghetti sauce and call it spaghetti and meat sauce. If you live in the western part of the country this is nothing like enchiladas .

I don’t know why some of the previous commenters above had to be so rude. I thought this was a great recipe and it is like mexican comfort food. Just make sure you follow the actual directions at the end of the blog and not the ones by the picture. There is no mention of tomato sauce in the ones by the picture and I had made the whole thing without it and didn’t notice till i got to the end.
This looks like a good recipe. I calculated it with the PointsPlus and it came to 10 pts for a serving.
I have made this multiple times now because we love it so much! I brought it to a Cinco De Mayo party and everyone wanted the recipe (I did shredded chicken instead of beef and it was fabulous). I agree, I view it as Mexican comfort food.
I’m usually pretty open when it comes to new recipes, but I’m not so sure I liked it. I used turkey meat and wheat bisquits…but there was just something missing but I can’t pinpoint it. Maybe with some adjusting it can become a staple in our weekly menu…but for right now I don’t think I will make it again anytime soon.
That’s ok. You don’t need to like everything you try!
I make this a lot and my family loves it. I use ground beef instead of turkey and I add chopped onion, salt and pepper, and diced green chilis in while browning. I also add black olives once everything is mixed up. My two year old son loves eating this dish.

This was AMAZING! I made it with ground beef. I added the black beans and a can of green chilies. Then I sprinkled Pampered Chef Chipotle and Mole Seasoning and added it to the meat mixture. Mozz. Cheese was all I had and it turned out so wonderful! Thanks!
You say this is Weight Watchers, but you don’t show points. Do you know the points?

Loved! Added black beans and corn and it was so yummy!!!

The biscuits gave it an almost sweet aftertaste; yep, I used plain biscuits. If I were to make this again, I would have to try something different to remedy that.
Made this tonight and absolutely LOVED it!!!
Just made this tonight. Wow…it was delicious! I really wasn’t expecting it to taste like traditional enchiladas….I actually liked this better. I did use the 8 oz. tomato sauce and I added a 4 oz. can of green chilis then garnished it with a few black olives.
These were absolutely delicious, even reheated!!! I will definitely be making these again, even my 1 and 3 year old loved it!!

I have been making this for about a year now and constantly give out the recipe to others. WE LOVE IT. The recipe is easy to adjust and there are a lot of variations that can be made. This is a favorite at my house and I’m getting ready to make the “taco” version now.
If you aren’t using the enchilada sauce from Trader Joe’s — you are missing out. That stuff is the best. GREAT FIND! I get about 3-4 bottles from time to time just to use for this recipe. Oh & for those who like spicy, we almost always shake some crushed red peppers into ours before baking
Looks tasty and I prefer the enchilada can sauce that really brings the flavor out thanks for the idea I never thought to make it in a casserole dish so much easier THANKS
This looks delicious! Can you make it ahead of time and refrigerate?
This recipe is very yummy and easy to make. I like to add some salt and veggies while browning the turkey. I usually include corn, green peppers, onions and a clove of garlic. Turns out to be a very tasty simple meal! It also tastes good as leftovers too.
I just made this and all I had was croissant rolls …. so I lined the bottom of my pan with rolls then covered with browned hamburger, can of enchilada sauce and a small can of rotel sauce (mild) ……baked….. then added cheese to the top….let it melt …..LOVE IT!!!!!! thanks for sharing…….
I agree with Katie, people are so rude! If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all! I am trying this recipe tonight and I am sure it’s going to be delicious! Thanks for the recipe
Tried this for supper and it was GREAT…next time will try it with taco seasoning in the ground turkey…thanks for sharing!

My fiancé and I love this dish. The first time I made it I did it exact, and we found it to be lacking something. So I said I would play around with it, since it has to stay point friendly. Well I got it now, I take diced onion, sauté them in a little olive oil, and ground turkey cook till only a little pink, then add Mrs Dash chipotle lime seasoning (I add quite a bit, maybe about 1/4 cup) and can (4oz) of chopped green chilies, then cook the rest of the way. I add in my tomato sauce and enchilada sauce. Finally I add the cut up biscuits to the pot and mix them all in. Then pour in a 9×13 and do 2% Kraft Mexican shredded cheese on top (I love cheese so I usually double the amount it calls for). Once done we top it with a chunky medium salsa and daisy light sour cream! It is amazing!!
I meant 1/8 of a cup of the Mrs Dash.

I am confused on the directions ! One part says to put biscuits on the bottom of dish and pour meat sauce on top . But then it says to put biscuit s in saucepan mix up and dump in dish ? Which is the correct way ??
I also had trouble getting the biscuits in themiddle to cook, although I did them like a crust as it said with the pictures. I added a can of Mexican corn with black beans and taco seasoning. It took much longer and I had to tent the biscuits on top to keep them from burning. It was still yummy and I love anything that goes into one dish!! Anyone have tips for getting all the biscuits to cook?
We make a sauce by taking one can of enchilada sauce and equal amounts of brown gravy. I sometimes use a jar, sometimes a packet that I mix with water. We use it for wet burritos or enchiladas.
This was phenomenal! I highly recommend it! I’m on my second helping!

Made this tonight with some changes as suggested by others: added onions to my ground deer (instead of turkey), added chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes to the meat mixture. Added rotel and black beans (rinsed) to the enchilada sauce. It was excellent!! Will defnitely be making again. I didn’t have time to go down to Trader Joes (the closest is about 45 mins away), so I used Kroger brand fire-roasted red enchilada sauce. Quite tasty.
I always make this with the mild green chile enchilada sauce. My family of 5 loves it! Thanks for sharing the yummy recipe!
Greetings! Thanks so much for this delicious recipe. I have featured it at http://foodtothemax.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/bubble-up-enchiladas/ — We want to try this as a dip next time, cause the goop would be perfect for scooping!
