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).

WEIGHT WATCHERS 6 POINT CHILI



Weight Watchers 6 Point Chili image

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).
