Hey, April! I love cooking in my crock pot, too! Here is one of my most favorite recipes–the flavor of this steak is out of this world!!
Swiss Steak
Round Steak
1 can Golden Mushroom soup
2 packets Lipton dry soup–Beefy Mushroom
flour, salt, and pepper
1 stick margarine
Sift together flour, salt, and pepper. Coat steaks with the mixture. Meanwhile, melt margarine in a skillet. Brown the steaks on both sides in the skillet (this does not take long at all–maybe 10 or 15 seconds per side).
Mix together soup, soup packets, and 1 can of water.
In a crock pot, layer the steaks and the soup mixture. Cook on low 8-10 hours.

The gravy is awesome served with mashed potatoes (you may want to add some cornstarch to thicken it). Enjoy!
