I know absolutely nothing about weight loss. I know absolutely nothing about weight watcher points. I do know about Pinterest. I do know about finding great blogs with great recipes through Pinterest. And, I do know that I like to try things, even if I do not completely get it. I mean, this recipe, as is, is a 6 point value. Is that good?? Is that bad?? What if I served it with yeast rolls, mashed potatoes mixed with sour cream and butter?? What if I couldn't find diet Sprite in one can and since I do not like Sprite, I did not want to buy a 12 pack...so I just went with the full sugar version of Sprite? Are you asking what Sprite has to do with this?? You'll see.
So....here is what I DO know. What I DO know this looked good on the blog I was on. What I DO know is I was anxious to try it. What I DO know is that it tasted AMAZING!! And, what I DO know is that it was so good that it did not yield leftovers. The meat was SO tender, the flavor was so...well....flavorful, the kids LOVED it...and I do not get to eat any of it for lunch tomorrow!!
So, this is a crock-pot recipe! It is INCREDIBLY easy...doesn't get easier! On the blog, they say to use Diet Sprite, but as stated, it was just too difficult to find ONE can, so I went with regular. It also recommended you add in any zero point veggies...whatever those are?? I did not add any veggies, but I would love to add some whole mushrooms to this...maybe some white onion.... As stated, I served with sour cream and butter filled mashed potatoes (that I smothered in gravy) and yeast rolls....that I dipped in gravy. Weight Watchers??? Pft!
This recipe is EASY and a crowd pleaser!!
