crockpot three bean chili

This chili is amazing.  It is basically a pantry meal…open six cans, brown ground turkey and onion, dump in some chili powder and you’re done with your work.  The crock pot does the rest. My boys love it with baked tortilla scoops.  I like to top it off with cilantro, purple or green onion and a spoonful of Fage 0% plain Greek yogurt.  Another winner from skinnytaste.com.  5 WW pts+ for 10.8 oz (1 cup=8oz).

For my vegetarian, I just put all the beans, tomatoes and chili powder in the crock pot, stirred it up and took out a serving size for her.  Then I added the meat.  I’ll just heat hers up on the stove for about 15 minutes on low.

Don’t like ground turkey?  You could use ground beef, 1 lb. of 93/7% gives the same total points+ per serving.
