Chili

My husband LOVES chili.  And the spicier, the better for him.  Me and spicy foods do not agree but I will make this for him.

2 key ingredients are: 

Bush's Chili Beans (Medium or Hot)

And jalapenos:

Please note that you should wear gloves if handling jalapenos!!  I did not and then touched my eye (and I was wearing my contact lenses).  My eye was burning.  Then my fingertips started to burn where I was holding the jalapenos.  Please do not make the mistake I did!

Weight Watchers Points Plus:
The entire recipe was a total of 68 Points Plus.  So I had 12 servings with 1 cup per serving.  So each serving was 6 Points Plus.

Notes for making next time:
Make variations - don't add the jalapenos, change the chili powder to mexican chili powder, etc.  My hubby likes this in all the different variations!
