    Some of our favorites are salsa meat. Love using vinison or pork with a big jar of your favorite salsa. About an hour before I serve it I add some rice to it and the rice sucks up some of the liquid from cooking. Also love pork carnitas.

    Hi Eve23- I would love to get your pork carnitas recipe! :)

    That greek chicken sounds great!
    Also, salsa chicken.

    2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
    1 cup salsa
    1 can cream of mushroom soup

    Cook on high for 4 hrs or on low for 6-8
    Delicious and low calorie! Best served on rice or just as an entree with anything else.

    Albondigas soup

    1/2 pound ground chuck
    1/2 onion-minced
    2 cloves garlic-minced
    1/4 cup instant rice-uncooked
    1 egg
    salt and pepper to taste
    4 ounces chopped green chiles-canned, drained
    1 carrot-shredded
    14 1/2 ounces stewed tomatoes-canned
    4 cups hot water
    2 cups lowfat beef broth-or water
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley-or cilantro

    In a bowl, combine beef, onion, garlic, rice, egg, salt and pepper to taste. Form 1 1/2 inch meatballs. Place chilies and shredded carrots in bottom of slow cooker. Spoon tomatoes evenly on top. Place meatballs on top of tomatoes. Pour in water, broth, oregano and parsley or cilanto. Cover and cook on low 5 1/2 to 6 hours. Garnish this popular Mexican soup with sprigs of fresh cilanto or mint, and serve with flour tortillas.

    Per Serving (1 cup) 121 calories, 7 g total fat; 7g protein; 9g carbohydrate, 45 mg cholesterol; 48mg sodium. When you go to add this to your diary type in albondigas and use the weight watcher one and the calories will show correctly for this recipie. I'm not a soup person but my husband loved it so enjoy
