24cm spring form cake tin. It comes with our unique Total Non-Stick System. It creates easy food release, saves time and effort and delivers perfect baking performance time after time.
Deiss Grater to finely grate the cheddar. This grater makes a little cheese go a very long way, but watch out – It’s VERY sharp!
How many Calories are in this Enchilada Lasagne?
There are 662 calories per portion in this Enchilada Lasagne, which means it falls into our Special Occasion category.
To cut down the amount of calories even more, you can simply halve the portion size and serve with a healthy accompaniment.
This Enchilada Lasagne is perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet and fits well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Spray a 24cm spring form tin with low calorie cooking spray and line the bottom with greaseproof paper.
Step 2
Spray a large saucepan with low calorie cooking spray and add the minced beef to brown on a moderate heat for 5 minutes. While the meat is browning, chop the onion, courgette and peppers, and grate the carrot.
Step 3
Add the veg to the meat and mix well. Turn down the heat and add the kidney beans (in chilli sauce), sweetcorn, spices, stock cubes, tomato puree, garlic granules, worcestershire sauce and passata to the saucepan and mix well. Leave to simmer for 25 minutes without covering.
Step 4
Once the meat has cooked, and the sauce has reduced, you need to layer up the dish. Place a Weight Watchers wrap at the bottom of the lined spring form tin. Place a layer of the meat and veg on top. Continue this pattern, ending with a layer of meat.
Step 5
Finely grate the reduced fat cheddar over the top, and tear the mozzarella, spreading the pieces evenly over the whole area. Sprinkle with a little paprika to add colour. Place in the oven for 25 minutes until the cheese is golden.
Step 6
Remove from the oven. Leave to cool slightly in the tin for 10 minutes (don’t worry, it’ll still be hot when you eat it!).
Step 7
Once cooled slightly, run a knife around the edge, unclasp the spring form tin and carefully lift the tin away. Cut a wedge, and serve immediately! This Enchilada Lasagne can also be left in the fridge and reheated – you would get a firmer texture if doing this.
Cook Enchilada Lasagne another way
Slow cooker
You can cook the mince in the slow cooker, but you’ll still need to bake this dish in the oven to melt the cheese.
Brown the mince in a saucepan, and then place all of the ingredients for the mince sauce (as per the recipe below) into the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours. You may need to reduce the sauce down by leaving the lid off and letting it bubble until thick. Alternatively you could simmer in a saucepan until reduced.
Pressure cooker
You can cook the mince in the pressure cooker, but you’ll still need to bake this dish in the oven to melt the cheese.
Brown the mince in a saucepan, and then place all of the ingredients for the mince sauce (as per the recipe below) into the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours. You may need to reduce the sauce down by leaving the lid off and letting it bubble until thick. Alternatively you could simmer in a saucepan until reduced.

So glad you’re enjoying the book Julie! 😀
Andy MFriday 5th April 2019
Or simply don’t use meat at all cook a vegetable chilli with onions, peppers, courgettes, tomatoes, spinach and black beans for example, plenty of Mexican style seasoning etc yoghurt instead of cheeses and you have a naturally lower calorie meal
Emma TSunday 7th April 2019
Great idea, Andy!

Hello, this recipe is a fav in our house and so excited to try the chicken fajita one similar to this in the cookbook i received today! However, it states only two wraps are to be used in the cookbook and obviouslly four for this recipe? I cant see anywhere how many portions its for in the book? Can you help 🙂
CateMonday 8th April 2019
Chicken Fajita Pie in the book also serves 4 (it’s listed just above the ingredients), but feel free to make it with 4 wraps instead of two if you want to make it more filling! 🙂
kioralauraSunday 17th March 2019
hi, if you can’t get WW wraps – I live in France, and they are not available here – could you just use lasagne sheets (dried pasta ones) instead?
CateMonday 8th April 2019
Absolutely! Lots of people in our Facebook group have made it with lasagne sheets and it’s worked very well 🙂
BevSunday 10th February 2019
This looks amazing but I don’t like kidney beans, is there anything I could replace them with?
JohnThursday 7th February 2019
Superb whole family loved it
HayleyTuesday 29th January 2019
Hi, I really wanted to make this tonight, I have all ingredients apart from oregano, would I be able to substitute it for anything? Thank you
ClaireThursday 24th January 2019
Hi, if I were to use normal kidney beans instead of chilli kidney beans, would I still use the juice from the can or drain them first? Thank you!
Tina ShieldsFriday 11th January 2019
Hi can you make the mixture In the pressure king pro thank you
Sarah MethvenFriday 11th January 2019
Hi
I’ve made the chilli up for a dinner party tomorrow.
Should I assemble and cook then warm up tomorrow or assemble and not cook and leave in fridge to cook tomorrow?
I wasn’t sure if it will go to mush if I don’t cook now?
Basically do I need to cook now or assemble & cook tomorrow? Thanks
Pamela SharpSaturday 5th January 2019

NadeTuesday 20th November 2018
Hi, am really wanting to make this but where can I find WW wraps please? Also, would it be 160 degrees for a electric fan oven?
Also, I only have an ordinary tin – not spring form :/ will it still work?
Thank you 🙂
ClaireWednesday 14th November 2018
Hi, just checking the recipe says pop in the oven for 25 mins but the video says 1hour! ???? Which do I follow?
Thank you.
BeeTuesday 30th October 2018
100g of tomato purée? Is that right? Nearly a whole tube?
RachelWednesday 24th October 2018
Thank you for bringing this recipe into my life! Loved it! So filling as well
PaulaThursday 18th October 2018
I like this recipe. There is about enough spice in it for me . I am wanting to make it for someone else who doesn’t like anything to spicy. Any ideas of a substitute for the spices please.
JillSunday 7th October 2018
Hi. Can’t see the recipe anywhere in this link. Can anyone help me please? Thanks.
Rebecca RoperSunday 23rd September 2018
Super recipe – simple and very impressive! Family loves it. I use the left over chilli to stuff baked potatoes – great next day lunch! Thank you so much for your wonderful site.
Nicola MorrisSunday 23rd September 2018
I love this recipe, and have made it a few times now.
We have to freeze half of this as there are only 2 in our household, and it is so much easier to freeze in squares.
So I was wondering if I could cut this into four equal portions in the following way.
Firstly cut a square out of the centre and divide this into 2 portions for the freezer, then serve up 2 of the the outside crescents for each of two portions to eat now. My question is mathematical, how big should the centre square be to keep it all even.
Sorry about this I have to admit to being a little OCD, and my maths/geometry was never that good, something to do with areas and square roots I think.
Anyway I probably gave you all a good laugh, so not totally wasted.
AndyTuesday 16th October 2018
Hi Nicola, all figures are approximate, but good enough for the real world 😉
r is radius of the tin (i.e. 24/2 = 12cm)
Area = pi * r-squared = 452 sq cm
One portion will be this divided by four, 113 sq cm, two portions will be this divided by two, i.e. 226 sq cm.
A two portion square would have sides of sqrt of this, i.e. 15cm
Divding this by two wil give us the distance from the centre of the tin, i.e. 7.5cm
It’d be simpler to measure from the outside edge, which will be 12 – 7.5, i.e. 4.5cm
So, I’d suggest measuring-in 4.5cms from the left and right edges and cutting these lines
to produce two ‘large’ wedges. Then measure in the same distance top and bottom and cut these
two ‘small’ wedges. One large wedge plus one small wedge should be a portion.

OMG amazing every single time I make this. A firm family favourite now.
Tracey DavidsonSaturday 15th September 2018
I have made this recipe and it is absolutely lovely, would feed more between 6-8 with a nice big salad. I have also made it as a stand alone chilli with rice (without the wraps and cheese) and its better than most chilli recipes out there.
Trudy MiddletonSaturday 8th September 2018
Wow just wow!!! – its truly amazing, thank you so much for all of the lovely recipes – keep up the good work
VickyMonday 3rd September 2018
I have just made this, I want to eat it tomorrow, will it be ok kept in fridge in tin and we can just put it in oven tomatoes row night?
Suzanne MayburySunday 2nd September 2018
Any tips on how to freeze this dish and to reheat ? Will it all collapse if I freeze in single portions ? Thanks
TinaFriday 24th August 2018
I made this today and I have to say it’s delicious. The whole family loved it and I will definitely be making it again. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Sylvia GeisslerFriday 17th August 2018
I thought i had kidney beans when i made this. Only to dind i had nine. I used mixed beans in spicy tomato sauce instead. It was very tasty. I froze a xouple of portions nd reheated later in the week. Great recipe.
Sylvia
KateWednesday 8th August 2018
