    I have been making something similar to this for years. I put a chuck steak in a baking dish and cover it with a can of golden mushroom soup and sprinkle a package of Lipton Onion soup mix dry on top. I cover it with foil and bake at 325 for about 2-2 1/2 hours. For the last hour or so, I add halved potatoes and cut up carrots and recover it. I usually make it the night before and then refrigerate it. The next night I skim off any of the hardened fat and the reheat it. It makes a terrific gravy.

    Mmm delicious. I don't eat much meat, but it's nice to indulge in something this good once in awhile.

    After everything is set, I like to add some more vegetables, peas, etc!
