Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the boneless beef round steak into 6 serving-size pieces.
  2. Layer half of the beef pieces, sliced mushrooms, and onion rings in a 3.5 to 4-quart slow cooker.
  3. Repeat the layering with the remaining beef, mushrooms, and onion rings.
  4. Pour the condensed French onion soup evenly over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 8 to 10 hours, or until the beef is tender and no longer pink.
  6. About 15 minutes before serving, reserve 1/2 cup of liquid from the slow cooker.
  7. In a bowl, toss the herb stuffing mix and its seasoning packet with the melted margarine and the reserved 1/2 cup of cooking liquid.
  8. Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the top of the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker.
  9. Increase the heat setting to HIGH, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the stuffing is fluffy and heated through.

  11. Cover and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
