Recipe: Bubble-Up Enchilada Casserole

Wedding countdown on = calorie count ON. 

Last night I made the simplest, most filling, most delicious dinner... and it was only around 300 calories a serving.  
Dan proclaimed it, "like homemade Chef Boyardee."

I attempted some iPhone pics, but they didn't look so good. So, I'll just use this one from Pinterest:



I'm not kidding. Go make this tonight.
