Reports Margery Bryan of Royal City, Washington, "This is one of the best and easiest meals I've ever made. It has only four ingredients, and they all go into the pot at once. The meat is nicely seasoned and makes its own gravy-it tastes wonderful when you serve it over mashed potatoes."

Ingredients

2-1/2 pounds beef top round steak
1 to 2 envelopes onion soup mix
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1/2 cup water
Mashed potatoes, optional

Directions

Cut steak into 6 serving pieces; place in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Combine the soup mix, soup and water; pour over beef. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until meat is tender. If desired, serve with mashed potatoes.
Freeze option: Place beef in freezer containers; top with gravy. Cool and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a covered saucepan, gently stirring and adding a little water if necessary.

Bought a large outside round roast, cut 2 one inch slabs off and put in slow cooker along with rest of ingredients. Low heat for 6 hours and turned out delicious and tender. next time would cut down on onion soup mix, a bit too salty, had to thicken up gravy a little. Will make again for sure.

This delicious recipe has been around for a long time, only using chuck roast instead of round steak. I started making it in the oven (pre-slow cookers) for my late husband around 40 years ago. He absolutely loved it, and it is still one of my go-to recipes. Thanks for sharing it!

This recipe is a regular at our house now. I also have changed the onion soup mix to beef onion soup mix and cooked with beef tips to service over egg noodles for beef tips and noodles. Equally as good.

This was delicious, inexpensive, and oh-so-easy! Everyone enjoyed the tender, flavorful beef. I'm sure you could use any cut of steak you liked, but the round steak cooked up nicely in my crockpot.

Mmmmmm - yummy! My husband and I loved this. Great crockpot recipe! There wasan't alot of fat in the meat I bought so the "gravy" wasn't swimming in it. Delicious!
