CROCKPOT WEDNESDAY

Here's a quick and easy recipe that the family is sure to love. I would like to be able to substitute low-salt soup since soups tend to be high in sodium but I haven't been able to find very many flavor choices in the low-salt variety. Maybe one of these days the soup makers will get a clue and realize that there is a growing market for healthier versions of soup.

 NO FUSS SWISS STEAK

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds beef top round steak, cut into serving-size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery ribs, sliced
  • 1-3/4 cups water
  • 1 can (11 ounces) condensed tomato rice soup, undiluted
  • 1 can (10-1/2 ounces) condensed French onion soup, undiluted
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 bay leaf

Directions

  • In a large skillet, brown beef in oil over medium-high heat; drain. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add carrots and celery. Combine the remaining ingredients; pour over meat and vegetables.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until meat is tender. Discard bay leaf. Thicken cooking juices if desired. Yield: 8-10 servings.
