Slow Cooked Steak and Gravy

Using your slow-cooker frees you up to leave home for the day...and still have the evening meal served on time with very little effort.

Recipe Ingredients:

4 pounds round steak
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 onion, chopped
2 (10.75-ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 packages dry onion soup mix
3/4 cup water
10 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Cooking Directions:

1. Cut steak into single serving pieces. Sprinkle with garlic powder and pepper.
2. In a crockpot, layer half the steak, onion, one can of soup and one package of soup mix. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Add water. Cook on low heat 6 to 8 hours, according to manufacturer's directions.
3. When done, remove meat and keep warm. Measure remaining liquid and add 2 tablespoons of flour for each cup of liquid (you should have about 5 cups). Cook, stirring, until smooth and thick, about 4 minutes. Return meat to gravy and serve hot.

Makes 12 to 16 servings.
