A Weight Watchers Adaptation Turns Into a Signature Family Chili

My mom knows her chili. She may not know how to sew heirloom quilts, drive over 50 mph or tell the difference between north and south, but once you've had her chili, you'd think she has all the answers.

Originally adopted as a Weight Watchers recipe, my mama played with this hearty soup for years - adding a touch of this here and a dollop of that there - until it became one of her signature dishes and a family favorite. Now I can't even bring leftovers to work without everyone grabbing a spoon. My girlfriend even made it the main dish at her bridal shower (Her fiancé must have enjoyed sleeping with her that night).

I think the world of my mother. I feel like you can even taste her passion for life and quirkiness in this dish.

Just make sure you prepare enough to go around.
