Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding sliced mushrooms or bell peppers to the crock-pot along with the onion. You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery or a homemade white sauce for a different taste. If you don’t have cube steaks, any tender cuts of beef can work, just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
