Crock Pot Swiss Steak Recipe

It is no secret that I love cooking in the Crock Pot. Just toss in a few ingredients, pop the lid on and everything cooks while you go about your day. What I’ve realized though is I need a bigger crock pot. We love cooking large meals that can be stored as leftovers but with our current standard size slow cooker, we just can’t fit the extras in. So now I’m on the hunt for the biggest slow cooker on the market. Feel free to let me know if you’ve seen one.

This is the perfect meal for a busy weeknight where you can set out all of your ingredients (besides meat) the night before and put everything together in the morning.

By cutting thick slices of onion they stay in large pieces when serving this dish. If you cut them too thin they’ll shrivel up and be lost in the sea of tomato sauce.

See that splatter on my wall? Yep, my own stupidity. It’s a great way to remind yourself to never ever forget to put the lid back on or you’ll be scrubbing sauce off of your walls.
