 I have lost my favorite weight watchers easy chili recipe.  It was in 
 one of their magazine style  recipe books probably from the 90’s.  
 The recipe called for ground beef, canned black beans, canned or 
 frozen whole kernel corn, and Rotel tomatoes.  The beans, corn, 
 and some of the  cans of Rotel tomatoes were drained and some 
 of the tomatoes were  used undrained.  I don’t  think there were 
 any other ingredients except maybe some onion but I just don’t 
 remember,   it was basically a brown the beef then dump the cans 
 recipe.  Can you please see if you can locate this recipe for me?  
 I should never have  given the book to someone to borrow as it 
 was never returned. Thank you in advance.

Hello Marla,

We don't have a WW cookbook, but with a little help from an AI friend, I found this recipe that seems to fill the bill.
