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
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Season each cube steak with salt and pepper.
Place 2 cube steaks in the bottom of your crockpot.
Layer half of the onion rings over the steaks. Add another 2 cube steaks and top with the remaining onion rings. Repeat the layering if needed, ensuring each layer of meat is separated by onions.
In a bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and water until smooth. Pour this mixture over the meat and onions in the crockpot.
Sprinkle the onion soup mix on top.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, until the meat is tender.
Serve with mashed potatoes to enjoy the rich gravy, and add a side salad or green vegetables for a complete meal.
Pro Tips:
For Extra Flavor: Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a few cloves of garlic to the gravy mixture for an extra boost of flavor.
Avoid Overcrowding: Make sure not to overcrowd the crockpot; layers of meat and onions should be separated to ensure even cooking.
Thickening the Gravy: If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the gravy during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
