This Chili Green Beans recipe makes a quick and healthy side dish with a hint of spice and sweetness from the onions. Only 1 WW smartpoint and 70 calories per serving.
This recipe isn’t very spicy. However if you want to add some heat you can chop one or more of the chilis. I cooked the chilis whole without cutting to just add flavor and it is VERY flavorful. Also added chili powder, you can add more or less if desired.
Chili Green beans will also make a great Thanksgiving side dish!
