Good but very hot - served with corn bread and apple pie. Next time I will use less chili powder.

I made this for an office potluck; threw it together the night before and stuck it in the crockpot in the morning. I used Bush's Grillin' Beans - Black Bean Fiesta - in place of plain kidney beans. Over the top! (especially with WW Cornbread made with Greek yogurt...

Terrific chili recipe! I let it simmer in the crock pot for 5 hours yesterday and we used it as taco filling. It has a lot of flavor. Even my 7 years old little boy loved it!Thank you Kittencal.

This is so very close to my chili recipe of choice that I have to give it 5 stars! I did use a yellow bell pepper in place of the red, cuz that's what I had. I like the idea of letting it cook in the crock pot. There was no need to be stirring it all day. I got lots of yard work done and dinner was really with just a side of corn bread. Very yummy and it's WW friendly. Ok, I had twice the points 1/2 cup just did not do it for me. I must be a full cup woman. :) Thanks for posting.

Fine recipe, except per the WW calculator, each serving is 3 points, not two. And who in the world eats a half-cup of chili?
