Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: 5-ingredient Slow Cooker Hawaiian Meatballs
Can you believe it's already slow cooker season - my favorite time of year.
Weight Watchers Friendly Crock Pot Hawaiian Meatballs
I realize the focus on Simple Nourished Living recently was all about Juicing.
But don't think that means I abandoned my slow cookers. Not by a long shot!
I still used them several days a week to cook easy healthy Weight Watchers friendly meals.
These 5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Hawaiian Meatballs were a particular favorite for two reasons: 1) ease of preparation and 2) lip-smacking sweet and sour flavor.
Skinny on 5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Hawaiian Meatballs
To keep things super simple, I used frozen low fat turkey meatballs. You could always make them from scratch if you prefer.
For the best flavor you'll want to use a thick teriyaki basting sauce.
