Swiss Steak

This is one of my mom's fav recipes of mine. I serve it with pasta or usually rice. It is very easy and yummy. You can even start this before you leave for work and let it cook this in a crock pot. It is great to have for company. It is easy to make and cheap. You can make smaller or larger amounts. I will give the recipe to feed four...or so...

3-4 lbs of round steak
1 c. flour
1/2 T. garlic salt
1/4 T. pepper
1 jar of basil tomato spaghetti sauce
1 can of diced tomatoes (I like petite diced), drained
1 yellow pepper, julienne
1 onion, julienne
1 T. Italian seasoning
1/2 - 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
Oil for browning

First mix flour, garlic salt, and pepper. Cut the round steak into steak serving sizes. Coat each piece with flour mixture and drop into a hot pan of oil. Just cook the meat until brown. It does not have to be done. When brown, drop it into a crock pot or large baking pan. In a bowl mix the remaining ingredients. Pour over the meat. Cook in a crock pot for 4 ( but it can cook up to 8) on low or bake covered at 325 for 90 mins or until meat fails apart. The meat will be able to cut with a fork when done. Enjoy.
