This was surprisingly good. I modified to use what I had on hand, but for a quick weeknight meal this chili delivered.

This was really good chili. I added a can of rotels and it was delicious.

THIS. WAS. AMAZING!! Everyone thought so. Nobody could believe it was a WeightWatchers recipe! And this is WAY better than any of the long-cook recipes I've ever had. Made it for the first time for a crowd and they loved it. Cleaned me out, I had to make more for myself to store for later. I made little changes here and there but bottom line is, if you want great tasting chili that is done in a reasonable amount of time, hang on to this recipe for life. I know I will!
