One of our favorite recipes for the crockpot is very simple. Cooking this
way doesn't heat up the kitchen on these hot summer days.

Just cut up some trimmed round steak in portion sizes, put it in the
crockpot with an envelope of dried onion soup mix, a can of cream of
anything soup (I use mushroom) and a can of mushrooms. Set to low heat for
8-10 hours. This makes a nice gravy, so I make mashed potatoes and a veggie
on the side, and dinner is done! When in the mood I also add garlic. Also if
you want it to be more like a Swiss steak, just add some tomato paste and
towards the end add a drained can of peas. Very simple and very good.

A great variation to this recipe is to use golden mushroom soup instead of
the cream type.
