Swiss Steak

Submitted by Christinas Culinary

"My Mom's version of Swiss Steak was cube steak in a rich thick gravy with mashed potatoes and corn. YUM! It's total comfort food, and brings my childhood back to me. Now if I can just get my girls to eat it we'd be all set!"

Growing up, Swiss Steak was always gravy-based not tomato-based. I was happy to find this recipe because it didn't use tomatoes. I made this as directed and it was tender and pretty good. I thought something was missing in the flavor but I was afraid to add extra salt due to the high sodium content in the onion soup mix. I will make this again - DH and son liked it. Served with mashed red potatoes and sauteed asparagus.
