Southwest Vegetarian Bake - Weight Watchers Friendly image

Just finished this for supper after making it for the first time. It was warm and comforting with just the right amount of heat. Very filling - didn't even miss the meat! I made and baked in advance and then froze until I was ready to serve it. Yummy! Adapted from the Taste of Home Casseroles, Slow Cooker and Soups. 5.5 points per 1/8 of casserole.

WW SOUTHWESTERN STUFFED CABBAGE CASSEROLE WEIGHT WATCHERS



WW SOUTHWESTERN STUFFED CABBAGE CASSEROLE Weight Watchers image

Found while surfing the Net. It's been calculated at 7 pts with cheese and 5 pts without. It is very tasty and makes a ton (perfect for OAMC). If you chop the cabbage in a food processor, you can slip in the healthy veggie without picky eaters knowing. DH liked it and he hates cabbage.
