I just went back and got this old thread from October so I could add another comfort food recipe to it.
This is an old recipe that I fixed for supper tonight. It's really easy and smells wonderful while it is in the oven forever, but it's not the skinniest thing you could cook.
And I don't know if you are allowed to eat this in Florida where it is warm and sunny in December. This is one of those "Baby, It's Cold Outside" recipes.
It is from that old Betty Crocker cookbook. The red one. The one that I bet a lot of you got for a wedding present long ago.
Steak Supper in a Foil Package
(That's what it's called but this is what we call chuck roast, not chuck steak. Oh well, you know what I mean.)
1 and 1/2 lbs. chuck roast (steak??)
1 can of cream of mushroom soup, condensed
1 envelope (about 1 and 1/2 ounces) dry onion soup mix
3 medium carrots, quartered
2 stalks celery, cut into 2 inch pieces
3 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 T. water
Heat oven to 450 degrees.
Place a 24X18 piece of heavy duty aluminum foil in baking dish.
Place meat on foil.
Stir together condensed mushroom soup and dry onion soup mix and spread over meat.
Top with vegetables and sprinkle water over vegetables.
Fold foil over and seal securely.
Cook in oven for 1 and 1/2 hours or until tender.
That's it.
I did not have any celery. I used lots more carrots.
And, of course, how can you ever go wrong with that gourmet sauce of canned mushroom soup and dry onion soup mix. (Ah, c'mon, you know you think that's an amazing combination. Just admit it.)
