I got this recipe years ago from my Weight Watchers leader and have been making it ever since. Both my hubby and I really enjoy it...even though he typically is not a fan of anything with "low-fat" in the title!

Steps:
- Brown meat until no longer pink and drain (I also rinse it to remove any additional fat) and follow instructions on taco seasoning packet.
- Crumble six taco shells into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
- Spread meat mixture evenly over top of shells, spread kidney beans over the meat, spread soup over kidney beans, sprinkle cheese over soup, crumble remaining taco shells over cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Tips:
- Use lean ground beef or turkey: This will help reduce the fat content of the casserole without sacrificing flavor.
- Drain the ground beef or turkey thoroughly: This will remove excess grease.
- Use low-fat or non-fat dairy products: This will further reduce the fat content of the casserole.
- Use whole wheat tortillas: This will add fiber and nutrients to the casserole.
- Load up on vegetables: Add as many vegetables as you can to the casserole. This will make it more nutritious and filling.
- Use a variety of spices and seasonings: This will give the casserole a delicious flavor.
- Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole should be cooked until the vegetables are tender and the cheese is melted, but not overcooked. Otherwise, the casserole will become dry and tough.
