Today I pulled out my crock pot and loaded it up with cube steaks. I bought a big pack at BJ’s and decided to cook them all at once. I’m freezing what we didn’t use for a quick dinner another night.
Cube steaks are often served with gravy. I didn’t have time to make cream of mushroom soup to put in the crock pot, so I made gravy after it finished cooking. Besides the flavor and texture it adds, I think the gravy makes the steaks look more appetizing.

I have felt the pull of my CrockPot lately…in fact I'm going to cook dinner in it today. It's just that time of year, isn't it?
I'm sharing my all time favorite way to make ratatouille – my friend still has tons of fresh eggplants, tomatoes, zucchini, and bell peppers in her garden and she sends them my way. I just have to make ratatouille. I can't help it. And then the chickpea pancakes – they're the perfect compliment. My husband even loves them! Best of all, the entire meal is naturally sugar free & gluten free!
Ooooo YUM! I'm so ready to break out my crock pot!
Just when life is getting busy and our fall schedule is falling into place, it's helpful to see what others are doing for dinner. Thanks!

Love this idea of seeing what everyone is making for dinner. Seems like I tend to get in a rut and make the same things over and over. Just found your blog this week and have already found a bunch of recipes I can't wait to try. Thanks!
These look great, perfect for Fall. If you make and add the cream of mushroom soup at the beginning of cooking(pour it over the top? in between steaks?) will you need to do anything else for the ‘gravy’? Thanks for all you do. Your site has become my go to for recipes and ideas now that my husband is gluten and dairy free.
Hi Jenny. It’s been so long since I’ve made the recipe using cream of mushroom soup. I would put some on top and some in between the steaks. I might have thinned it a little before adding. I think you’ll have to experiment. 🙂
Thanks,sounds so good,love country fried steak!
Just to clarify – You put the cubed steaks in the crock pot uncooked, right?
I usually brown mine in coconut oil first, but this would be much faster to make the gravy at the END of the cooking time instead of right after browning the steaks.
Thanks in advance. 🙂
Hi Lauren. Yes, I put the steaks in uncooked. You could brown them first, but I don’t.
