I have personally never subscribed to Weight Watchers but have several family members that have over the years. This recipe comes from one of their old recipe books.

I’m including the “points” listed in the book for convenience but if this is important to you, please confirm directly with Weight Watchers.

I do recommend using the leanest ground beef you can find otherwise you will find a little grease from the fat floating around. You can always skim it off if needed but leaner ground beef is best.

If you don’t care about it being a weight watchers recipe and just looking for a good chili recipe, you can substitute the ground beef for some ground turkey.
