We have always enjoyed making those fun creations using the boxed baking mix and one of the best was the traditional cheeseburger pie. Calorie and fat laden it may be easy and popular but not so diet friendly. I’ve tried many versions of the baking mix and attempted to create my own but still found it to be far outside my calorie or point range. This Lowfat Cheeseburger Pie (and Weight Watcher Friendly version) is a bit different but very satisfying and only 6 Weight Watchers Points per serving. That’s a bit higher than my typical meal but much lower than the 17 points per serving of the traditional variety. I hope you enjoy our adaptation as much as our family does.
