Notes
1 Weight Watchers SmartPoint per serving on the Freestyle ProgramThe measurement of spices in this recipe will make the chili very flavorful, but not overly spicy. If you prefer your chili really spicy or hot, add more chili powder, or chili seasoning. When the chili has cooked, you can also add a few more seasonings if you choose. You can top with jalapeno's, sour cream, shredded cheese, onions, crouton's, bacon, green onions, or other toppings of your choice.
