As I said to Carey when she told me about this recipe, how can you go wrong with cheese and chili? I think they may be their own food groups along with bacon. Hmmm. There’s an idea. What if you added bacon to this dish? Think I will have to give it a go!
I haven’t entered the ingredients in to fat secret so I have no idea what the net carb count is, but looking at the ingredients, I would bet it is six or less.
***Update***
Carey just sent me the servings and NC count. 6 servings at 6.27 NC per serving. Damn I’m good! LOL.

I found this dish delicious, and when I entered into fatsecret came up with 6.27 n/c’s per serving. I calculated at 6 servings per casserole. Also, some suggestions for sides, lettuce, and sour cream.
Clarification on the recipe…..
2 Servings of the chili seasoning = 1/2 pkg, or 2 X 1 1/3 T
4 Servings crushed red pepper = 1 t
Hope this helps. 🙂
