Grandma's Casserole

Apparantly this recipe was a Weight Watchers recipe from about 20 years ago. When calculated it turns out to be 7 points plus per serving and this recipe makes a 9X13 dish with 8 servings so a fairly decent size.

It was VERY easy to make, so simple... Saute, simmer, stuff into pan and bake. I am looking forward to it. I did, however, add a little extra garlic as I personally think garlic makes everything taste better. Hopefully it doesn't prove me wrong today :)

INGREDIENTS
1 chopped onion
1 chopped green pepper
2 tablespoons butter (I used marjarine)
16 oz. ground turkey, cooked (I used 20 oz uncooked)
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon pepper
12 oz. tomato puree (I used tomato sauce as this is all I had)
15 oz. diced tomatoes in a can
2 cups water
8 oz. uncooked egg noodles
8 oz. shredded cheddar (I only used 4 oz. as thats all I had and simply I was being lazy and didn't want to shred more, also it lightened it up by a whole point per serving:)

DIRECTIONS
1. SAUTE first 3 ingredients (I also added 2 teaspoons garlic)
2. Add next 6 ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Pour a little sauce in 9X13 dish and top with noodles
4. Cover noodles with remaining sauce and top off with cheese
5. Cook for 45 minutes at 350 degrees
6. ENJOY

Come back later to find out how it turned out.

  1. This was so very yummy! The noodles cooked up quite well and the sauce was yummy! It was enough for our family of 4 for 2 2 meals pretty much! Highly recommended!
