This was SOOOO easy. Steaks. Can of soup. 2 cans of water. Sprinkled with thyme. Easy!

Sunday morning before church (about 7 am) I threw in some sirloin steaks and cream of mushroom with roasted garlic soup, couple cans of water, and set on high for 5 hrs. Then I boiled some whole wheat egg noodles and dumped them in for about 15 minutes on warm. Steamed some veggies...yum!!! oh and I sprinkled some dried thyme over the meat.

It wasn't quite salty enough, so I added some later.

So here's the "recipe" if anyone is interested:

4 sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick) thawed.
1 can cream mushroom/roasted garlic soup
About 2 cups water (enough to cover meat in bottom of crock pot)
1 tsp dried thyme

Place meat in crock pot, spread soup over meat (could salt and pepper meat first if desired), sprinkle tsp of dried thyme; pour water over until meat is covered. (I know the crock pot recipe book usually says not too much water, but this worked for me, since I was guessing. It also recommends adding dried herbs at the end of the cooking time, but again, this worked great for me. Cook on high for 5 hrs. (Maybe 6, depending on how thick and big your steaks are).

Yummy!

Oh, another add-in....I'm thinking a small container of sour cream would have been nice to add in the last few minutes, or even just stir in while it's still warm. With the noodles, it would be kind of like a stroganoff.

I also made some easy glazed carrots with it....just boiled the baby carrots, drained off the water, added 1/4 stick of butter, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, dash of cinnamon, about 1 tablespoon regular sugar. (Measurements are estimated, I didn't measure, just dumped stuff in.) But they turned out great! Not too sweet, but tasty. ALMOST as good as my mom's carrot souffle, which I couldn't find the recipe for.
