Crockpot Steak n' Gravy

I hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving! As a tradition in our house, instead of turkey, we have steak n' gravy. As I mentioned before, my husband is allergic to chicken, and since turkey is a close relative to the chicken, we stay away from it too. We're not sure if he's allergic to turkey too, but we rather would be stay safe than sorry.

Grandma, who was the one who provided me with the awesome mac and cheese recipe, used to cook this AMAZING steak n' gravy. Curtis and I used to make it when she became unable to cook before we had kids. It is very time consuming but it's like heaven in your mouth. Since we are short on time to devote to cooking, I came up with a crockpot version that is, to be honest, not AS good as grandma's recipe, but very delicious. So now, we make this recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Besides, Curtis told me that I wasn't allowed to share grandma's recipe. It's top secret apparently... If you ever had it, you would understand. :)

I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest for Crockpot Cube Steak and Gravy and when I fist made it, it kind of reminded me of Grandma's Steak n' Gravy. I just had to make a few modifications and it was so much better. It's easy peasy and the smell!! UGH! It's heavenly.

Here is what you will need:

Family size pack of Cubed Steak
1 can of Cream of Mushroom
1 can of Golden Mushroom Soup
1 envelope of Onion Soup Mix
3/4 C. Water
2 Stalks of Celery, chopped
1/2 Green Pepper, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix in your crockpot the cream of mushroom, golden mushroom soup, onion soup mix, and water. Wisk together until all blended. Add the celery and pepper and mix well. Finally add your cubed steak and mix a little so that all the steak is wet with your gravy mixture. Cook on low for 8 hours.
You can serve with mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or whatever else you want. The steak falls apart, you don't even need a knife to eat it with.

Here is the soups and water whisked together and the onion soup mix

And here is my Thanksgiving plate. It was so good it was ridiculous. My mouth is literally watering looking at this picture.
