Crockpot Round Steak with Mushroom Gravy

This meal is one of those crockpot meals that literally takes 30 seconds to put together. Anyone who says they don't have time to put dinner in the crockpot needs to try this.

I do go ahead and get my crockpot and can of soup out on the counter the night before, and thaw the meat so that I have very little prep time in the morning.

I never seem to have much time in the morning before I leave for work, no matter what time I get up, so quick to put together crockpot meals are lifesavers for me.

There's nothing like coming home after a long day to a house smelling like supper's already on the table. I usually cook some flat wide egg noodles to go with ours but mashed potatoes or rice would also be great. Also, don't throw away the leftovers because those can be added to a container in your freezer where you might keep leftover vegetables for soup. I use any leftover gravy, beef, etc. to add into my vegetable soup, which I call "Free Soup", but I will save that post for another day.

You can use round steak, cube steak, or any tough beef that might be fairly inexpensive (if there is such a thing, right?). The crockpot cooks all day and leaves the meat fork tender. The gravy makes it all just over the top.

Here is how I make Crockpot Round Steak with Mushroom Gravy AT HOME MY WAY:

Crockpot Round Steak with Mushroom Gravy

Round steak, cube steak, roast, or any "tougher" beef that might be less expensive (enough pieces for your family)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can COLD water (using the soup can)
1/2 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet (optional, but I like it)
pepper
3 Tablespoons flour
Crockpot with a lid

Instructions:

Cut the meat into single sized portion sizes and place in the crockpot. Dump on the soup. Fill the can almost to the top with cold water. Add the Kitchen Bouquet (which is a browning ingredient), some pepper, and the flour. Stir til smooth and dump over the meat. Stir a little to dissolve the soup & water together. Cover with the crockpot lid and cook all DAY on LOW (8-10 hours).

** You could add drained canned or even fresh mushrooms to this. My hubby just would croak if he saw a whole mushroom in there so I don't add anything like that.

Give it a little stir before serving and serve over noodles, mashed potatoes or rice.

Enjoy!

Best Dill Pickles EVER! (Just like Claussen) (Easy - no canning!)

Do you want to make the best, easiest homemade dill pickles in the world? I found a recipe for dill pickles that tastes JUST LIKE Claussen refrigerator pickles. Those are the best anyway, right? That crunch, the dill and the garlic... and oh yea , the crunch! This recipe is super easy because you don't have to process these pickles which means there is no canning needed. You just fill a gallon jar (we use an old pickle jar) with fresh cucumbers and dill heads, and then pour over the cooled liquids/seasonings. Let it sit on the counter for three days, and then refrigerate. After that, the pickle eating begins. They are supposed to keep for one year like that in the fridge, without canning. (We let them sit for the 3 days, then refrigerated them overnight before opening the jar for the much anticipated first taste. Did they taste like Claussen? YOU BET YOUR PRETTY PICKLE THEY DID! We were all SO ex...

Buttermilk Biscuits - Just like Cracker Barrel!

RECIPES AT THE TOP - CHIT CHAT AT THE BOTTOM! Here's how we make Buttermilk Biscuits AT HOME MY WAY: Buttermilk Biscuits (just like Cracker Barrel) (Makes about 8 biscuits.) PRINTABLE RECIPE HERE Ingredients: 2 cups SELF RISING flour (self rising flour gives the perfect taste to homemade biscuits) 1/3 cup shortening (cold real butter also works here) 1 1/4 cup buttermilk* *NOTE: (If using regular milk combined with lemon juice vinegar referenced below, you only need 1 cup of milk because thinner regular milk uses less by volume than the thick real buttermilk.) Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (Make sure your flour is "fluffed" not straight from the bag; Dump it in a larger container and stir using up and down motion to fluff it up a little bit-THEN measure out 2 cups). Measure 2 cups SELF RISING flour into a mixing bowl. Add shortening and cut it until small and crumbly. A fork works fine for this purpose ...
