Country Steak with Gravy Recipe (Weight Watchers)

As I've said a thousand times before (I'm a broken record), my family (well, the children only begrudingly) decided to eat healthier in 2009.

And since my husband orders country fried steak EVERY-SINGLE-TIME we go to Cracker Barrel, I was thrilled when I found this (much healthier) weight watchers recipe in In Good Time: 123 Slow Cooker Recipes to Come Home To.

After all there's nothing I love more than my slow cooker and good recipes!
