Crock Pot Melt-In-Your-Mouth Country Style Steak
I got this recipe from a friend at work about 8 years ago. It's been my husband's favorite meal ever since. He's requesting it for his special Father's Day Dinner this weekend. This meal is so super easy and so rewarding. I usually put it all together in the crock pot before I leave for work in the morning and, when I get home, it's ready to serve. Cooks up a delicious gravy and goes great with mashed potatoes!

Tips and Variations:
- For a thicker gravy: Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Stir this into the crock pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Add some vegetables: Throw in some chopped carrots, potatoes, or onions with the steaks for a heartier meal.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or even a dash of your favorite hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Use different soup: Experiment with different kinds of cream soup, like cream of chicken or cream of celery.
This recipe is a testament to the fact that sometimes, the simplest meals are the most satisfying. It's a recipe that has brought my family together, one delicious, tender bite at a time.
