MEXICAN SWISS STEAK

Hi Tamy here filling in for Min today which works well with her theme, Try a New Recipe.  This recipe is the perfect Try A New Recipe.

I recently had a thrift store find beyond belief.  An old recipe box full of old hand written recipes.  I estimate they are from the 50-60’s era when women passed around recipes at morning coffee, tupperware parties and PTA meetings.

This recipe called for either a can of diced tomatoes OR a can of cream of chicken soup for a creamy version.  I decided to amp it up a bit and added a can of Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles and changed the soup from chicken to celery.  What resulted was an extremely tender and spicy round steak in its own gravy.
MEXICAN SWISS STEAK
2 pounds round or swiss steak, 3/4 inches thick
1 large Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
1 pound can tomatoes OR 1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can ROTEL tomatoes with green chiles
1 can cream of celery soup
salt & pepper to taste
  • Salt and pepper each piece of meat.
  • Cut meat into serving size pieces
  • Whisk together the soup and tomatoes until well blended.
  • Layer meat, onion rings and soup several times in crock pot.
  • Cook on low 8-10 hours.

I served it with Potato casserole and the guys wolfed it ALL down!

DON’T FORGET!
It’s PARTY time here at OUR KrAzY kitchen.

Today’s the day, it’s in the crockpot! I used rotel + cream of chicken, and 2 hours on high (+ several hours on low) to make up for my late start! Smells great…

Thanks, Tamy! I think I’ll make this when my parents come to visit on Friday! (Min’s fine, just completely overwhelmed = space cadet!!) LOTS going on! Thanks for the fill-in and your concern.
