This crock pot cube steak recipe is not only a testament to the ease of slow cooking but also to the comforting power of a home-cooked meal. Give it a try and let the crock pot do the work while you enjoy your day!
Ingredients
- 6 cube steaks
- 1 medium onion, peeled and sliced into rings
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can cream of celery soup
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 1/2 can of water (using the soup can for measurement)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Onion: Begin by peeling and slicing one medium-sized onion into rings. Separate the rings gently.
- Season the Meat: Season each cube steak with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
- Layer the Ingredients: In your crock pot, place two seasoned cube steaks at the bottom. Add a layer of onion rings on top. Repeat this layering process, ensuring that each layer of steaks is separated by onions. This helps to keep the steaks distinct and prevents them from sticking together.
- Mix the Soups: In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and half a can of water. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Combine and Cook: Pour the soup mixture over the layered steaks and onions in the crock pot. Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly on top. Cover with the lid, set the crock pot to low, and let it cook for 6-7 hours. By the end of the day, your kitchen will be filled with the inviting aroma of a delicious meal.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the cube steaks with a side of mashed potatoes to soak up the rich gravy. Adding a fresh salad or some steamed green vegetables can balance the richness of the meal, making it complete.
Note:
- Soup Variations: If you’re a fan of cream of mushroom soup, feel free to substitute it for one of the other soups. I personally prefer using chicken and celery for a different flavor profile, but the recipe is versatile enough to suit your taste preferences.
