Slow Cooker Cube Steak

My latest adventures have been my mom providing me with meat, and I prepare it for dinner for them. This week it was cube steak. Every time I've had cube steak it was kind of like just eating a hamburger, so I wanted to try something different. I searched pinterest and found this. My mom could NOT stop raving about how tender and yummy it was! It worked out well and had quite a bit of gravy!

Slow Cooker Cube Steak

Ingredients:

* 1lb. cube steaks

* 1 can Campbell's Heart Healthy Mushroom soup

* 1/2 pack of onion soup mix

Directions:

1. Spread about half of the mushroom soup in the bottom of a slow cooker (I always use liners).

2. Put in cube steaks (mine were still half frozen).

3. Top with onion soup mix and remainder of mushroom soup.

4. Cook on low about 12 hours (10 should do if the cube steaks are thawed).

5. ENJOY! Pillsbury Jr. biscuits tasted really good with the gravy!

HG BBQ Beef Cups (Or Burger Cups)

So my mom stole my BBQ sauce and I didn't realize it was gone until halfway through this recipe! So..I had to change it up a bit..so they became more like cheeseburger cups then BBQ cups. They were actually really good! Brian gives them 4 out of 5 stars. Next time I will try them with the actual BBQ sauce. It comes from Hungry Girl 1-2-3, p. 96. I served these babies up with some baked beans and Slammin' Slaw.

Backyard BBQ Beef Cups

Ingredients:

* 12oz. raw extra-lean ground beef

* 1 small onion, finely chopped

* 3/4 cup bbq sauce (I used about 1/4-1/3 cup ketchup and 2-3T. mustard)

* 1 package Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations Seamless Dough Sheet

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray and set aside.

2. Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add beef and onion. Stir frequently and cook until beef is crumbled and browned, and onion is soft, about 8-10 minutes.

3. Reduce heat to low and stir in 3/4c. bbq sauce (Or ketchup/mustard mixture). Stir until coated.

4. Roll out dough and cut into 12 squares (4 down and 3 across). Press each square into muffin cup to create a 'cup'.

5. Evenly distribute meat mix. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

6. I added cheese while hot, then let cool then ENJOY!
