Best Weight Watchers Lentil And Black Bean Chili 6 Points Recipes
WEIGHT WATCHERS LENTIL AND BLACK BEAN CHILI (6 POINTS)
If you enjoy lentils and black beans, then you should find this chili extremely satisfying!! The recipe called for 29 oz can diced tomatoes, fire roasted with chilies. That product is not available in Canada, so I added a can of chopped green chilies. If you are "one of those" who can take extreme heat, by all means, use fresh chilies with the seeds left in for that exta punch!!

WEIGHT WATCHERS 6 POINT CHILI
This recipe came from a magazine. I have tweaked it a little to make it healthier. It's 6 points for 2 cups in the weight watchers points system. Great for those winter nights and football game Sunday! I use the crock pot and it makes 4 quarts (2 cups per serving, 8 servings).
