  1. This was easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I mixed all the ingredients and added them all to the pot at the start of cooking. I also used olive oil instead of vegetable oil as that is what I buy. This made for tender cube steaks that were tasty.
     
  2. This is excellent! It is fall apart tender and the gravy is wonderful. My kids loved it as well and have been asking for it since having it the first time!
     
  3. Excellent. Great flavor. Cooked up nice! Entire family ate it up!
     
  4. This was an easy prep meal, the flavor was good and the steaks were quite tender. There however, was a lot of gravy and the steaks do start to fall apart. But still it was quite good.
     
  5. Since I didnt have the onion soup mix I used a jar of dark mushroom gravy and mixed it with a can of condensed mushroom soup and a cup of water. This actually made it much easier to make. I followed all the other directions, frying the cube steaks with flour and salt first and used olive oil to fry them in. I put them in the crock-pot and covered them with sweet onions and 2 cups of water, cooked for 7 hours on low. At the end I added the gravy mixture and turned the crock-pot on high for about 45 minutes just to get it hot. Hubby loved it and inhaled it. This is a keeper and I think doing it the way I did saved a lot of time and made it much easier.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a small city in southwest Virginia. We have been here for 22 years and love being near the mountains. I have three kids that keep me busy 24/7. I love cooking for my husband, but am constantly battling the picky eating kids at mealtime. I originally joined when this site was called recipeZaar to put my recipes into meal menus to rotate on a regular basis. Hopefully, to take the brainwork out of food shopping, menu planning and preparation. The problem is that I have found so many new recipes I want to try here I am going to end up with 100 menus! I guess that isn't so bad, variety is a good thing.
