WEIGHT WATCHERS QUICK BEEF AND PINTO BEAN CHILI - POINTS = 6

Weight Watchers Quick Beef and Pinto Bean Chili - Points = 6 image

This was the featured recipe today in my Weight Watchers email: Chili doesn't get any easier than this-we used well-spiced convenience foods to boost the recipe's flavor while minimizing preparation and cooking times. Notes *If you can't find canned diced tomatoes with chipotle chilies, either use a 14.5 ounce can of plain diced tomatoes and add 1/8 teaspoon of chipotle chile powder to the mixture, or substitute a 14.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (the latter will be quite spicy). Substitute lean ground turkey for the beef if you prefer (could affect POINTS values).
