Weight Watchers Menu Plan: Weeknight Slow Cooker Dinners

Fall is upon us and we are in the mood for some hearty, warm dinners.  I'm breaking out the Slow Cooker this week in hopes of some hands-free satisfying meals.

I'm often amazed at what you can cook in a crock pot (lasagna!) and it turns cheaper cuts of meat into something delicious. It's also a great way to use up some common pantry items and turn them into a tasty dinner.
