Weight Watchers Lentil and Black Bean Chili (6 Points) image

If you enjoy lentils and black beans, then you should find this chili extremely satisfying!! The recipe called for 29 oz can diced tomatoes, fire roasted with chilies. That product is not available in Canada, so I added a can of chopped green chilies. If you are "one of those" who can take extreme heat, by all means, use fresh chilies with the seeds left in for that exta punch!!

The chili was too watery. I had to simmer it for an extra 30 minutes to thicken it up.

The chili was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding a dollop of sour cream.
