Alright guys, there’s nothing I hate more than wasted syns. Which, considering I couldn’t taste the doritos, is what I feel like this casserole was. Do yourself a favour, save yourself the 20-odd syns the ‘chips’ add to this dish. In fact, turn it in to a lasagne by layering it between pasta sheets – OR, turn it in to a pasta bake, adding part-cooked pasta shapes to the mix before topping with cheese and baking.
The mix itself was DELICIOUS! We’ll definitely be having it again, the recipe below has been modified from the original version (which can be found here) to be more Slimming World friendly, I added veggies and cut the syns where I could without losing the taste.
It’s 31 syns for the entire dish, meaning the portions are anywhere between 8 syns (for 4 portions) or 5 syns a piece, for 6 portions. However, if you cut out the unnecessary doritos, you got yourself an 11.5 syn dish (total) which is a MASSIVE reduction with zero change in the taste or texture of the dish!
