Pepper Steak in the Slow Cooker

I just got this recipe along with several others for the crockpot from hubby's work. Last year they started a health campaign at work, and have been passing out recipes, measuring cups, strainers, etc. to promote healthy eating. Which I love! Also set up a discounted membership to the local YMCA, which is still to expensive for us to sign up for. I have a bike and treadmill here at home, along with a library of Walk Away the Pounds Dvds so really don't need that anyway. It just would've been nice to be able to use the weight machines they have. But hey you have to work with what you have. And thankful for the exercise equipment/DVDs I have.

I fixed this tonight and it was a hit, and we have some wonderful leftovers.

Pepper Steak

1 pound of lean stew meat (I used eye of round roast cut into cubes) (it was on sale and is very lean)

1/4 cup flour

2 (15oz.) cans tomato sauce

2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce

heaping 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

2 medium green peppers cut up into what size suits you ( I used 1 green and 1 yellow pepper in mine)

1 large onion , chopped

4 cups cooked rice (I cooked mine with some of the new Swanson Beef stock I found at the store) yummy!

1. Put beef cubes and flour in 2 1/2 Quart crockpot, stir to coat

2. Add tomato sauce, worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder, and stir.

3. Cook on high 3 hours or until meat is tender.

4. In the 3rd hour add the green pepper and onion, stir. Add an additional 30 min. or until the vegs. are crisp-tneder.

5. Serve over hot cooked brown rice.

It was really yummy, and will be making this again. There was a great looking and easy recipe for a White Chicken Chili I also plan on trying this week for the crockpot to. If it turns out I'll post it to. I've never made Chicken Chili before so anxious to try this one. Chili has got to be one of my favorite foods, and it's getting to be that time of year for it.

Have a great day all.

Hugs, and God bless
