I created this low carb enchilada casserole last night because my husband and I both LOVE Mexican Food and we're trying to stay on Atkins. We used homemade enchilada sauce. Next time I'll try it with chicken. We both loved it.

It sounds odd, but the use of eggplant in this recipe is genious! It was a delight! We are low carb dieting, so this was a great find! I prepared the recipe as directed and casserole turned out great. We served with some lettuce and sour cream. My DH was skeptical, but he had seconds and fought for the leftovers a few nights later. I wasn't sure if you were supposed to slice the eggplant or cube, I ended up cubing and roasting. Turned out great! Will be making again and again! Thanks for the great recipe Batman's Chef!! Would love to see more low carb recipe creations from you :)1Reply
