Old- Fashioned Swiss Steak

Submitted by getoutofmygalley

"This is my all-time favourite thing that my mother cooked while I was a child. I still ask her to make it for me whenever I see her. We even had it one year for Thanksgiving! She got so tired of making it, she forced me to learn the recipe when I was in college. If you tend to shy away from bacon grease, you can substitue butter...but in my opinion it will compromise the flavour. I wouldn't changed a thing. This is all Mom!"

This sounds delicious! Very like what I grew up with. Mother used a can each of tomato soup and beef consume instead of the tomatoes, and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, about 1/2 tsp of chili powder, and a can of mushrooms. Swiss steak, fixed this way, is pure comfort food! Thanks tor posting this!
