This is a sample version of a Freestyle cookbook I'm working on. I've reached out…
Weight Watchers Friendly Taco Casserole Recipe – 1 Smart Point FREESTYLE
Weight Watchers Taco Casserole Recipe
This Weight Watchers Taco Casserole Recipe is a variation of my favorite Weight Watchers friendly Taco Casserole (made with chicken).
I like making casseroles all the time, but especially for family dinners, holidays and even events like the Super Bowl. They are just easy and always taste great and this one, at just one WW point, is a GREAT one.
If you love taco dishes, try my Weight Watchers Friendly Taco Dip and Zero Point Chicken Taco Soup, too!
With Weight Watchers, you can eat anything in moderation. I'm constantly swapping ingredients to make things more flavorful with less points. For example, I swap out plain, non fat Greek yogurt for sour cream or ground beef for ground turkey, things like that.
I like to keep things interesting! And, as I find new WW friendly ingredients in the stores, or hear about something in my WW group, I like to add them into my existing recipes to grind down the points – whenever possible. If you are on Weight Watcher's, you already know what I mean. :)
To Use Canned Or Fresh, That Is The Question
When cooking with processed ingredients like taco sauce, pasta sauce, etc, you can easily sub those out for fresh seasonings and vegetables to reduce the point count. If you're not following Weight Watchers, feel free to add in some tortillas (this casserole would be amazing wrapped up in a tortilla… omg) or even put some chips on top!
Make sure you try my Homemade SALT-FREE taco seasoning with this recipe! It has every bit as much flavor and it is heart healthy!

Monica says
This looks so good!
Sandi says
How many does this serve and how much on WW can we have? Doesn’t tell us. Thank you
Anonymous says
The directions say it makes 6 servings and the points are listed next to it for the various WW programs. :). So you can eat 1/6 of it.
Eileen says
It does say on original post
8 servings 8sp per servng
Maureen says
where do black beans come in
SlapDashMom says
Hey there! :) Saute meat and beans together, as shown in the photo above.
Laura says
What size dish?
Barbara says
I made this for my picky family last night. They loved it! My husband said, “This is a keeper!”
Melissa says
I really need to know what size casserole dish . That makes a huge difference in points . Also for those asking it says 8 servings is 11 smart points and 6 servings is 6 smart points. BUT if you don’t have the casserole size dish it won’t be correct …
SlapDashMom says
The recipe itself doesn’t change no matter what size the casserole dish is, so it’s not that important. :) However, a 2qt dish works just as well as a 9×9 square dish would work. Here’s the one I use: http://amzn.to/2k4fUNc
Miranda says
What size casserole????? Reminds me of the joke……. Oh cut my pizza in 6 pieces, I could never eat 12! People: just take the total amount of casserole and divide it in to either 8 portions or 6 portions for servings!
SlapDashMom says
This question has been asked several times but I linked to the exact dish I use here: http://amzn.to/2zh2otu :)
April says
O you drain corn and rinse the beans
Anonymous says
Wondering the same – do you drain the cans of corn and beans?

Vicki says
Thank you for including the freestyle points value! I will definitely try this!
Kelly says
This was fantastic and easy! Thank you so much for sharing!
Lori says
Can you taste the sour cream? Silly I know but I’m dealing with a picky eater. TIA
SlapDashMom says
You can just skip the sour cream or replace it with salsa maybe? I have the “eat it or starve” philosophy in my house so I can’t be sure.
Rita says
:)
K says
When I place ingredients into my recipe builder it states that it is 4 Free style points. How did you get the calculations of 1? I just want to make sure I am tracking the proper points. Thank you! By the way my family does love this recipe!
SlapDashMom says
Recipe builder shows 1 for me. Did you do the right serving amounts?
Missy says
Can this be frozen before the baking stage to cook at a later time?
Haley says
Can you use the plain Greek yogurt that’s zero points, in place of the sour cream?
SlapDashMom says
Yes!!
Anonymous says
I used ground turkey! Delicious! I made a second casserole with ground beef for my family and they used tortillas you make tacos.
Shari Mcintyre says
Tried the chicken taco casserole tonight my family loved it. They didn’t even know it was weight Watchers till about half way thru the meal. I’ll definitely make it again
Stephanie says
No good deed goes unpunished! Lol! Thank you for the recipe!
TRJE says
I made this last night for a friend on WW. But this recipe is so good, it has me looking for other WW recipes! It was fantastic!
Tina says
Where do you find taco sauce in the grocery store and what brand did you use?
Sharon says
Delicious! I bake mine in a 9×13 pan and I cook 16 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts and shred it. We like it better than the grd meat. I also add an extra can of beans & cut it into 8 servings.
Angie says
I can’t wait to try this recipe tonight!
Anonymous says
Any idea what the nutrition facts are, for those not using WW but counting carbs/calories?
Kathy says
Can you freeze this after baking it?
Laurie Bennett says
Absolutely!!
N Russell says
Made this tonight for dinner. It was VERY, VERY good!! Both my husband and I liked it a lot! We love the low carb, low calorie meals and hope to try more from Slapdash1 and Darlena Brown.
Sisjoan says
This was so easy and delicious. I did add about half a cup salsa and 3 TBS Taco Seasoning. I still felt it needed more seasoning. Next time I would add green chili’s. I used a Mexicali sour cream dip in lieu of the sour cream which increased the points (Itrackbites) for me to 3. Still a low point meal!
Terri says
Sounds great !!! I am going to try a serving over romaine lettuce for a taco salad and also thought it would be good over cauliflower rice.
Laurie Bennett says
What a great idea!! The casserole works in just about a hundred ways and they are all terrific. Thanks so much for sharing – keep ’em coming!! Laurie
Terri H says
What is taco sauce?
Kasey says
This recipe is DELICIOUS!! I could eat this multiple times a week. Obsessed! Thank you so much for sharing!
Vicky says
Made this today and it is amazing!! I only wish my portion was bigger 😅. I had it with the mini Totitos to help fill me up. With my ice water on the side, perfect!!
Jessica says
Awesome turned out great
