Bubble Up Enchiladas is a casserole dish made with layers of biscuits, ground turkey and enchilada sauce, and topped with cheese. They call it Bubble Up because of the biscuits “bubble up” when they bake in the oven.

This was a popular Weight Watcher Recipe back in the days when Weight Watcher’s had their Points Plus Program. Of course, now since the program is called Freestyle, there are alternatives to making this dish even lower in points by using the 2 Ingredient Dough Recipe for Biscuits. I have tried this method before and it does work. You just have to cook the biscuits for longer.

Ingredients for Bubble Up Enchiladas

Enchilada Sauce: I made this using my favorite Enchilada sauce ever which is from Trader Joe’s. You might have heard stories of people having to travel for miles just to get to a Trader Joe’s (Which is me of course) Whenever I go to Minneapolis (3oo some miles away) to visit my brother I like to stalk up on this sauce. Of course, you can use whatever brands that YOU LOVE for this or make your own.

Of course, you can use whatever brands that for this or make your own. Canned Biscuits – look for cans that say reduced fat on them.

Cheese – Fat-Free cheddar can be subbed for Mexican Cheese blend.

Ground Turkey – 99% lean ground turkey is now zero points on Freestyle and this will help get the points of this dish down low. I also like to use to use 93% or 96% lean ground beef for this as well because who doesn’t love a beef enchilada? Just make sure if you use a different protein to adjust the points in the recipe builder.

I think this photo is a lot better than what my food photography used to be. See the old version here.

How to Make Bubble up Enchiladas

Start off with browning some ground turkey or beef, whichever you prefer.

Open a can of biscuits and cut the biscuits into 4ths, like the picture shows above.

Add in your favorite jar/can of enchilada sauce. Or if you’re feeling up to it make your own. Here you can also add in other ingredients to, like corn or black beans.

Layer your biscuits on the bottom of the dish and spread the biscuits out.

Add in the beef mixture on top of the biscuits.

Then top it with some cheese and bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 350. Serve with your favorite taco toppings.

Use the recipe for 2 Ingredient Dough to Make your Own Biscuits. This will help lower the points tremendously!

to Make your Own Biscuits. This will help lower the points tremendously! Fat-Free Cheddar can be subbed for Mexican Cheese Blend. This cheese can be found at stores like Aldi or Wal-Mart.

If you don’t like using canned Enchilada Sauce make your own Enchilada sauce.

Variations: You can do a lot with this kind of recipe. Instead of enchiladas, you could make a chicken pot pie or pizza. Add some beans or corn to the beef mixture to get some more fiber in. I haven’t tried the chicken pot pie or pizza version yet, but I think that might have to be on the menu for next week. A chicken pot pie sounds good right now.

I am not affiliated with WW formerly known as Weight Watchers in any way. I am just a member who likes to create WW recipes and share them with everyone. Freestyle is the name of the current program of WW and smart points are calculated for the recipes. Some blogs list them as freestyle smart points and some list them as smart points. There is no difference between the 2..

How is this a WW recipe?

NO FOOD is off limits on WW and WW themselves stresses that a lot on their social media pages. That is one reason why I love WW. You can pretty much eat ANYTHING to lose weight just as long as you stay in your daily points range for that.

How does Weight Watchers work?

Each recipe or food has a Smart Points value. This is calculated using calories, saturated fat, protein, and sugar. It is best to stay away from foods that are loaded with saturated fat and sugar on the plan because those foods are higher in points. When you register with Weight Watchers you are given a daily set of points to target based on your age, gender, height, and activity level. Think of it as an easier way to track your macros.
