London Broil Slow-Cooker Recipe<\/span><\/h3>\n

1-2 pounds of flank steak<\/span><\/p>\n

1 can cream of mushroom soup<\/span><\/p>\n

1 can cream of tomato soup<\/span><\/p>\n

1 package dry onion soup mix<\/span><\/p>\n

Directions:<\/span><\/h4>\n

Place meat in the bottom of the crockpot. In a medium bowl, mix together the two cans of soup. Pour over the beef chunks and sprinkle the onion soup mix on top. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Serve over rice or noodles.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What I love most about this recipe is how SIMPLE it is. I always<\/strong> have the ingredients on hand. It’s 4 ingredients total and takes 5 minutes to prepare. It’s the perfect meal for the crockpot when you just want to come home from work and have dinner ready. I decided to make this recipe on Saturday night because it was so easy to do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI usually spray the inside of the crockpot with PAM just to make it easier to clean. The recipe calls for 2 pounds of meat but I usually just do 1 pound (sometimes even a little less).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI get the beef that’s already cubed for making stews and rinse it, dry it and then drop it into the crockpot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI mixed the soups together in a bowl but to be honest you can make this recipe even easier and skip that step. In a rush you can totally just pour the cans into the crockpot as is and let them mix together in there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI sprinkled the onion soup mix package on the meat and then poured the soup mixture on top.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I add a lot of freshly ground black pepper as well. There’s no need to add extra salt because the onion soup mix is pretty salty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nTurn the crockpot on low and let it do it’s magic! I prepped everything after the gym on Saturday and then left the house for most of the day to see my friend Robyn and run errands. By the time I got back to the house 6 hours later the whole smelled warm and inviting with the aromas of crockpot food. YUM.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

According to this calorie counter recipe analysis<\/a>, the recipes is about 331 calories a serving (not including the rice or noodles).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI cooked the rice in my rice cooker. I realized at the last possible moment that I did not have quite enough brown rice so I supplemented with a little bit of whatever rice I could find in our pantry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWe happened to be babysitting our friends’ 6 month old baby Saturday night. I’m glad that I decided to make something easy in the crockpot while we watched the baby for the first time. I don’t think we could have (sanely) made a complicated dinner AND babysat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe baby (Norah) “helped” me while I made the rice. She was a bit fussy whenever I left the room so she came into the kitchen with me and kept me company while I got the started in the cooker.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe crockpot was basically done. The rice cooked for about 25 minutes and then I started steaming the carrots. When the carrots were cooked I added a little Goddess Dressing to them. I really could have just tossed the carrots into my dish with the rest of dinner but it had been too long since I had some Goddess Dressing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So Norah was finally sound asleep in the other room and we both had a glass of what little red wine we had left.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDinner was finally ready! After hours of sitting in the house smelling the dinner cooking….tempting me…taunting me…it was finally ready. I topped the rice with the gravy and the chunks of meat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt was hearty and felt like comfort food. The meat was so soft it fell apart when I put my fork in it. Perfect dinner!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe original recipe also called for chopped mushrooms but since I don’t like mushrooms I leave it out. I’ve often wondered if I could put chopped carrots into it and whether or not that would add something to the recipe or just ruin it. I haven’t been brave enough to give it a try.<\/p>\n

Try this recipe on a weeknight when you know you’ll be too tired to cook. It will be a lifesaver. AND it’s tasty!<\/p>\n
