- Serves:

4
ingredients
- 4 cube steaks (or one 2-lb. flank steak)
- 1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1⁄4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons dry onion soup mix
- 1 1⁄2 cups red potatoes, cubed into 3/4-inch pieces
- 2 stalks celery, sliced cross-wise into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup baby carrots (or 1 cup large carrots, sliced)
- 1 tablespoon water
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a 10 x 13-inch cake pan with aluminum foil, leaving enough extra foil on the long and short sides of the pan to easily seal into a foil packet later.
- Place cube steaks in aluminum foil in one layer.
- Combine condensed soup, milk and dry soup mix thoroughly and spread mixture over the meat.
- Arrange cubed (3/4-inch) potatoes (with or without skin), sliced celery (1/2-inch pieces) and baby carrots evenly over soup layer.
- Sprinkle 1 tbs. water over all vegetables.
- Seal the foil tightly, making sure that steam will not escape the packet.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Remove pan from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before opening foil packet. If vegetables are not completely cooked, re-seal the packet and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
- Notes: Instead of cubed steak, I've also used flank steak.

We all loved this one! It really smelled good as it was cooking. There was a problem with the potatoes and carrots, though---they were still hard-as-rocks at the end of the cooking time, probably took at least another half hour before they were fork-tender. I just noticed (!!!) I completely forgot the celery! Ach! Otherwise, the kids (especially) loved this---reminded them of the "Hobo Dinners" I make for them to take along on their annual canoe-camping trip with Dad each summer (except I use hamburger--not steak...and add mushrooms, some other herbs, and a dab of butter). I used Recipe #223023--which worked beautifully--instead of a store-bought packet. Gotta love those make-at-home-cheaper mixes! *Made for PAC Spring 2007*

<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am 33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. I am amazed at how quickly our kids are growing and developing. I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as preservatives, hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc. With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed. I'm doing the best I can to protect my family from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive. I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p>
