Ww Crock Pot Sauerbraten - 3 Pts

Got this out of an old WW magazine. I love Sauerbraten and I hope this one is delicious. My Quick Sauerbraten has lots more fat and calories but it's excellent. I haven't made this one yet. But hope to soon. It says the longer you let this savory German specialty marinate, the sharper its flavor will be. Serve it over boiled potatoes, spaetzle, or no-yolk egg noodles. Cooking time does not include marinating time. Magazine shows: 140 cal, 3 g fat, 45 mg chol, 56 mg Sod, 10 g Carb, 2 g Fib, 18 g Prot, 26 mg Calc
