*This is a more WW friendly version of my friend Teddy's casserole. This is my family's favorite weeknight meal and my little boy can't get enough of it. They don't even realize that I've lightened it up. If you use regular fat products, the points value is 12. Alot of points...but worth every bite! Thanks Teddybear Colette
Serve with salad and mexican rice for a family pleasing meal.
