Weight Watcher’s Mexican Casserole

Weight Watcher’s Mexican Casserole is going to be your favorite new casserole recipe. It’s packed with ground beef, tomatoes, corn, and black beans. I managed to cut back the sodium content down to about 200 mg using no salt added canned food. I’ve been on this low sodium kick lately and I found no salt added corn, black beans, and tomatoes at the grocery store. I even found low sodium taco seasoning. The only ingredients that had sodium in it was the cheese and corn tortillas.

Trying to watch your sodium levels is hard. There is salt in everything pretty much. I’ve been doing a lot  of research online trying to find low sodium substitutes. Usually for breakfast I’ll have a greek yogurt and a banana. Star Kist Tuna makes a low sodium tuna so I’m going to try having that for lunch this week.

I hope you like this casserole dish just as much as I did! Serve with your favorite taco condiments such as sour cream, avocado, etc….
