LOW CARB MEXICAN CASSEROLE
If you're a fan of Mexican food but watching carbs or calories, you'll love this Low Carb Mexican Casserole. The casserole is also low in fat, with just 4 WW freestyle points per serving! You can reduce the points even more by using low fat cheddar, but I think the good stuff is worth a couple extra points. Used with permission from Genius Kitchen.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Heat olive oil (2 tablespoons) over medium heat in a large pan (I like to use a 9" oven-safe skillet so I use only one pan for the entire recipe!). Once shimmering, add red bell pepper (1 chopped), red onion (1 chopped), salt (2 teaspoons), and pepper (1 teaspoon). Saute until softened.
- Add the chili powder (1 tablespoon), cumin (1 tablespoon), and dried oregano (2 teaspoons), and toast until fragrant - about 2 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat, and add sour cream (1/2 cup), salsa (1 cup), and 1 Lb cooked/shredded chicken breast (1 Lb). Stir to combine.
- If you aren't using an oven-safe pan, transfer ingredients to an 8x8 casserole dish.
- Pour heavy cream (1/4 cup) evenly over the top and sprinkle with shredded cheese (1 cup).
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until casserole is warmed all the way through and the cheese has lightly browned. Top with cilantro and enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Grease an 8" x 8" baking dish or similar size casserole with butter or coconut oil.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and break up into small pieces. Cook, stirring frequently, until meat has browned. Drain if necessary. Remove from heat.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the browned meat and stir in.
- Very lightly saute the cauliflower in a non-stick pan. This will help release any water so it doesn't make the sauce watery. Spread two cups of the riced cauliflower in the bottom of the baking dish.
- Sprinkle half of the spiced meat over the riced cauliflower.
- Top the meat with 1 ounce (about 1/4 cup packed) of the cheddar cheese.
- Layer the last two cups of cauliflower over the cheddar cheese.
- Spread the rest of the spiced meat over the cauliflower. Set aside.
- Pour the cream into a 1 1/2 quart heavy saucepan. Add 4 ounces (about 1 cup packed) of the grated cheese (this leaves one ounce (about 1/4 cup packed) for later). Put saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Heat cream and cheese, stirring frequently, until cheese has melted. Stir in the salsa. Bring mixture to a simmer and simmer gently until mixture has thickened enough to coat a spoon.
- Taste sauce and add sea salt and black pepper if desired. Pour sauce over the contents of the baking dish.
- Top with the remaining ounce of cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until cheese has melted and contents are bubbly in the center.
- Sprinkle green onion on top to garnish.

HEALTHY LOWER FAT MEXICAN CASSEROLE
This is my own creation. I was determined to come up with a healthier version of a taco inspired, cheesy pasta casserole. I started with whole wheat pasta, ground turkey, lots of chopped veggies, and I subbed lower fat cheese. This is very good, if I do say so myself!
