Great flavored roast. I fixed mine in the crock pot after browning along with the onions. Cooked all day and it was so tender and flavorful it's hard to believe this is weight watchers approved! My carnivorous man loved it and I didn't tell him it was weight watchers. This was great with a side of Low-Fat Big Crunch Coleslaw (#78566). Thanks mariposa13 for a winner.

awesome! very tasty and near as greasy or fatty as some of the other roasts I've made. The spices are perfect, wouldn't change a THING. My husband, 2 year old, 6 year old and I all agree it was great! Served it last night and there's no left overs today. Thanks for posting!
