I actually created a recipe that tasted good! I’m pretty proud of myself on this one! It’s nothing shocking but I made it up and actually ate the leftovers for lunch the rest of the week.
Thanks to Cincinnati Coupons I found a GREAT deal on frozen vegetables – these were actually more than free! They were on sale for 99 cents and I had a 50 cent coupon which Meijer doubled. So they paid me a penny each to buy veggies! No worries – I’m not going on coupon overload like “Mr. Coupon” in NKY from the Extreme Couponing show – but it was kinda fun to get something for free! Thanks Marci for your great site!
After baking a while, top with taco sauce and cheese. I’m a huge fan of Ortega Taco Sauce – my Dad used it when I was a kid. It’s got such a different flavor than salsa – it’s a welcome change sometimes.
We always have little bags of chips around for my husband’s lunch – so I decided to grab a bag – crunch them up and toss em on top!

That looks so outrageously unhealthy. Since you are doing a Cooking Light challenge, I assume you must be at least SOMEWHAT concerned with what you are feeding your body…how does this recipe fit in with that?

I happened to use light sour cream. Really the only unhealthy thing is the cheese. I mean – 1 oz of frito chips spread out over a weeks worth of lunches really isn't that bad.
It's a comfort food casserole.
And it was damn good.

I love when a recipe works out! I can't do red meat but I think ground turkey would work here. And you make a good point that you're not eating it all at once. I purposely do casseroles this size for hubby and me, so that we have leftovers for lunches.

Looks great! I'm not a fan of Fritos though because they kinda smell like feet….or maybe feet smell like Fritos. I think I will try it with some baked tater chips to make it a little healthier.
