CROCK POT CUBE STEAK by GKT
6 cube steaks
1 medium onion, peeled and sliced into rings
1 can cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup (your choice)
1 can cream of celery soup
1 packet dry onion soup mix
1/2 soup can of water
salt and pepper to taste
Peel, slice and separate the rings of one medium sized onion. Salt and pepper each cube steak. Place two cube steaks in bottom of crock pot. Top with onions and repeat; separating each addition of meat with onions. (This will help separate them later and avoid them being one melded mass of cube steak) In a separate bowl, add the cream of soups and water and mix. Pour the soup mixture over the meat. Sprinkle the onion soup mix on top. Cover; turn crock pot to low 6-7 hours.
