Crock Pot Black Bean Chili Recipe – 4 Point Value
When I was young, I was never really a big fan of chili recipes. I always thought there were too many beans. And I hate most beans — lima beans, kidney beans, pinto beans — gross. However, the one type of bean I actually like is black beans. So, determined to find a good chili recipe that I liked, that was easy to make and that was also low calorie, healthy, and made for a good Weight Watchers recipe, I experimented until I developed a healthy chili recipe that was delicious, low calorie and not overcome with beans! This crock pot chili recipe not only tastes amazing, but it’s full of fiber, protein, vitamin A and vitamin C, while still being incredibly low in fat and calories. This is an amazing Weight Watchers chili recipe that your whole family will love. Give it a try!

Hi there, what is the serving size for the black bean chili?
January 26th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
Hi Kara,
The exact quantity of the serving size is hard to measure, as it will vary depending on the size of the chopped vegetables. But there are 8 servings in the entire recipe, so when you make it, just divide the recipe into 8 equal portions. I often do this and then freeze the individual portions so that I can pop one out of the freezer and reheat it whenever I need a quick meal.

Thank you. I was telling my husband that. We could freeze them then take them out when we want one for lunch, or even for a quick dinner. Thank you once again.

We had this chili tonight and it was super. We don’t eat food too hot, but it was just spicy enough for me. The only change I made was done because of availability and I used canned hot jalapeno peppers instead of the chilies. Had it with one point Never Fail Corn Brad found at

Thanks for sharing such a great recipe! I followed it exactly…. Except, I didn’t have chili seasoning so I had to make my own :-)
