New Recipe

Bacon Ranch Doritos Casserole

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1 (10 oz) can tomatoes

1 (10 oz) can corn, drained

3/4 cup Bacon Ranch dressing

2 cups nacho cheese flavor Doritos, lightly crushed

2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Brown turkey in a skillet. Add seasonings while cooking.

3. Mix beef, tomatoes, corn and ranch dressing together and put into casserole dish. Top with Doritos and cheese.

4. Bake 20 minutes, uncovered.

Turned out to be not so bad for me(9 ww points for 1 cup serving) and Delicious! I plan to bring the points down by using regular tortilla chips next time, and possibly low fat cheese or less whole fat cheese. The cheese is what really kicked the points value up. 2 cups of cheese used the same amount of points as the rest of the recipe together. I did not have bacon ranch, so I used ranch dressing and baconsalt(one of my favorite things, btw). Baconsalt

  1. This sounds absolutely delicious, but I have a question...what is Baconsalt?? It is so amazing to me how 2 countries that border each other can have such different food stuffs. Think we need to start sending different things to each other and that way we would have the best of both worlds.

  2. There's a link in my post. It's used like a seasoning salt. In this case, it isn't so much a case of different foods in each country, as that Baconsalt is a relatively small company and fairly new. Takes a while for this stuff to spread. http://www.baconsalt.com/
