Ingredients
1.5 Lbs Beef Round Steak2 Cans Stewed Tomatoes1 Envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix1 Medium Onion SlicedSalt and Pepper
Directions
Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper, give it a real good pounding with a meat mallet or the back of a knife. Place in bottom of slow cooker, top with remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve over hot cooked rice or mashed potatoes (not included in calorie count).

*If you have the time dredge the steaks in flour and brown slightly before placing in the slow cooker, adds a lot of flavor but not a necessary step (this would up the fat content as you would need some vege or olive oil).

    I actually make almost the same exact recipe, but use half the Onion Soup mix to reduce sodium. A good crockpot tip, place onions (and also root veggies as a rule) on bottom of crockpot to get more of their flavor throughout the dish! - 12/15/09

    This was very good. I added 3 potatoes and they absorbed the flavor of the tomatoes. Yummy! - 5/5/09

    I made this the other night. It was super easy and really good. I served it with mashed potatoes and broccolli. I did not use a whole packet of onion soup mix, just a couple of Tablespoons. I added fresh italian parsley and a crushed garlic clove. I will make this again! - 1/26/09

    Next time I will use 1 can of tomato sauce in place of 1 of the cans of stewed tomatoes and will add another sliced onion and use only 1/2 pkg. of onion soup mix. - 12/12/09

    Made this over the weekend. Had to leave out the onion, but it was still very good. I had forgotten to potatoes. So I fixed a few biscuits. I will make this again!Watch how much salt you use, I used too much. - 4/6/09

    My whole family loved this. I added italian seasoning and parsley. My 8 year old sister and step father had seconds and my mom asked for the recipe - 4/19/11

    Try adding a bag of frozen peas. They taste yummy when they pick up the tomato flavor.

    UPDATE: We made this earlier in the week. The meat was tender enough to cut with a fork. Even the kids loved it. This is a recipe we'll do again. - 5/6/10

    I loved this recipe. The only change I made is that I put the sauce through the food processor. I am just not to a chunk sauce but the flavor was awsome. - 3/12/10

    I added mushrooms, celery and carrots to the bottom of the crock pot. I skipped the onion mix and salt. Did dredge in flour and browned on a non stick skillet so no added calories. - 2/9/21

    Great mid week recipe! - 4/21/19

    Yes, I totally agree -- I used 1/2 the amt. of onion soup to cut down on the sodium. And for sure, layering the veggies on the bottom and then the meat really infuses the flavor throughout. - 12/7/18

    This was great. Used 1/2 package of soup as advised and added potatoes. - 8/22/18

    my steak turned out nice and tender, and I just loved the flavor. - 1/27/18

    Pretty good, although the sauce wasn't super flavorful. I added a little worchestchire sauce and garlic powder the next day and it made it a bit better. Meat was super duper tender though. - 12/11/16

    This is very like my recipe except I do not add onion soup, too much salt, but add more onions, usually 3 cups. I never thought to do it in the crock pot and it works great. - 3/17/16

    This was so good! I only had one can of tomatoes so I used a can of Sloppy Joe sauce and the finished dish was excellent! Like other commenters, I only used 2 TBS onion soup mix. This will go into my rotation. - 2/15/15

    When I told the family we were having swiss steak they all growned but after serving it, they wanted more. It was a big hit. - 11/13/14
