Weight Watchers Recipe Points!


Question: Weight Watchers Recipe Points
I am making this recipe tonight and don't know exactly how many servings it will make!. I've made it before but didn't measure it out since I wasn't counting points then!. Please tell me how many points in the entire recipe and I'll figure out later how many servings and divide accordingly!. Thanks!!!

Ok, the original recipe on the website would have been 13POINTS for the entire meat mixture , divided by the 4 servings, each serving would have been about 3!.25POINTS per serving!.

8oz!. beef=7points
1c!. tomato sauce=1point
1c!. kidney beans=3points
1tsp!. olive oil=1point


Your recipe would be 99POINTS for the ENTIRE recipe!. Don't freak out!. Just divide that by how many servings you expect to get out of it!. For example, if you were going to make 30 servings out of it, each serving would be 3!.3POINTS per serving!.

Chili Powder= 0 points
Ground Cumin=0 points
6tsp!. olive oil=7 points
Onion=0 points
Garlic Cloves= 0 points
64oz!. uncooked lean ground beef 7%fat=57points
6cups Canned tomato sauce=8!.5points
6cups Canned Kidney beans=24!.5points

I hope that helps you out some!.
