Super Easy Crock Pot Chili

My Crock-Pot is my favorite kitchen gadget and really does save a working mom a lot of time.

Fall is my favorite time of the year and the easiest cooking season there is for a working mom. I use my Crock-Pot for everything. I make one batch of a recipe and have enough for one or more dinners plus lunches. My absolute favorite is an easy crock pot chili recipe I modified that is also Weight Watchers-friendly. Depending on the type of meat you use, a bowl of this chili is between 5 and 6 Weight Watchers Points.

I make a big batch of my easy crock pot chili on Sunday night and have enough to last for the whole week as a staple in my lunch or two dinners for the family.
