Swiss Steak (Paula Deen)

Shannon 24's Note:

I saw Paula make this on one of her shows last week and it looked delicious! Well, I tried it and it is delicious, so I decided to post it. Note: The recipe calls for 1 round steak, it is necessary to have this steak cubed (tenderized) by the butcher. I used round steak, and pounded the life out of it, and it turned out fine, but I would recommend following Paula's suggestion and having the butcher do it!

This was good and easy. I used 2 white onions and 1 green pepper but think I will use 2 greens peppers next time. I served with mashed potaoes.
