Crock-pot meals are delicious, flavorful, and healthy! What I really love about using my slow cooker is that I’m able to just drop the ingredients into the pot and it cooks everything to perfection without the need of even being required to stir the meal. What this means is I can walk away from the crockpot and dinner cooks itself while I’m carrying out other important things throughout the house.
Weight Watchers has a bunch of fantastic Crock-pot soup, stew, and chili tasty recipes, which I intend on testing this week. The first one I’d like to share with you is the Weight Watchers Chicken Tortilla Soup! This is a delicious, hearty soup packed with wholesome ingredients your entire family will love!
