Taste Test Tuesday: Amy's Bowls - Mexican Casserole
Amy's Bowls (in the frozen food section) have a new flavor - Mexican Casserole.
This entrée got my attention because I was looking for vegetarian entrées to sample for an article I was writing. Yes, it contains cheese, but it would fit an ovo-lacto vegetarian meal plan just fine.
My biggest disappointment when I opened up the box was that the bowl didn't seem to have half as much contents as the photo on the box suggests. It does have the nice cheesy topping pictured on the box, however, which is where quite a bit of the grams of fat and saturated fat appear to be coming from.
This bowl is made with corn masa, which contains safflower oil, organic corn, organic black beans, Monterey jack cheese, black olives, organic tomatoes, and organic onions (and a few other ingredients).
How Does It Taste? This tastes pretty good, although I'm not sure the amount of food justifies the amount of calories. Maybe if you stirred in some more corn or other vegetables, it would seem to have a bit more volume for the caloric cost.
1 bowl = 370 calories, 12 g protein, 48 g carbohydrate, 16 g fat, 5 g saturated fat, 20 mg cholesterol, 7 g fiber, 390 mg sodium. Calories from fat: 39%.
