- Place the browned meat in a 3-quart casserole dish.
- Add the cooked onions, halved potatoes, and bay leaf to the casserole.
- Pour the condensed tomato soup over the ingredients.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the round steak in a mix of Worcestershire sauce and garlic for a few hours before cooking. You can substitute the round steak with chuck roast if preferred, as it is also tender and flavorful after slow cooking. If you're out of condensed tomato soup, crushed tomatoes can work as a substitute, just add a bit of sugar to balance the acidity.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty Round Steak Supper with a side of crusty bread or a green salad to balance the richness. It pairs beautifully with green beans, which can be added to the casserole during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking. For a more filling meal, consider serving it alongside creamy mashed potatoes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a covered dish in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 20-30 minutes. You can also use a microwave, but be sure to cover the dish to keep the meat moist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of meat in this recipe?
Yes, while round steak is traditional, you can use other cuts such as chuck roast or brisket. Just be mindful that cooking times may vary depending on the cut's tenderness. The key is to cook it until fork-tender, so adjust accordingly.
Is it necessary to use flour for the meat?
Coating the meat in flour helps to create a nice crust and thicken the sauce as it cooks. However, if you prefer a gluten-free option, you can skip the flour or use a gluten-free flour substitute. The dish will still be flavorful.
Can I prepare this dish in advance?
Absolutely! You can assemble the casserole a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Just cover it tightly with foil. When ready to bake, allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before placing it in the oven to ensure even cooking.
