This is the Best Texas Chili ever. And it's also one of my all time favorite Weight Watchers friendly recipes! It comes in at just nine points, which is totally reasonable for a hearty dinner like this one.
It's loaded with protein-packed lean meat and all kinds of good-for-you ingredients like veggies and herbs.
But most importantly - it's just good.
We love chili recipes around here. It's one of those meals that you can leave to simmer on the stove or slow cooker all day long, and dig in whenever you're ready.
After living in the Midwest for five years, I fully appreciate chili as the perfect solution to every cold day. It's something to look forward to when it's just too cold to go outside. 😉
This Weight Watchers Chili recipe is:
- An easy slow cooker meal that's perfect for busy weeknights.
- Loaded with flavor from garlic, onions, and plenty of spice.
- Simple to make with ingredients you probably have on hand!
- Delicious comfort food!
Tips & Variations
Add more spice. If you're feeling spicy, you could always kick up your spices a notch. Our DIY Taco Seasoning is equally delicious in chili.Or trying adding slivered jalapenos to up the spice level.
Toppings. Garnish your chili with a bit of cilantro for a delicious and pretty finish. You can also add a dollop of sour cream, or plain yogurt for a lighter option.
Make it on the stovetop. If you prefer the stovetop over the slow cooker, simply add the ingredients to a large stock pot after browning the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until warmed through.

Sounds delicious! What is the WW point value for this, or the nutritional information so we can calculate it? (And per what portion). Thanks can't wait to try it!

Not sure how big the servings are, but when I calculated it for a friend it was 12 points per serving, for 4 servings. You'd have to measure out to see how much chili this makes and divide it by 4 to get a serving that way.
