5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Hawaiian Meatballs Recipe

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.
