Quick and Easy Swiss Steak

I love this recipe. The prep time is all most nothing and then it goes in the crock pot so you can come home to a great meal that you just need to add sides too. Want to really make it fast? Instant mashed potatoes ( use a great flavored one) and pre cut bagged salad.
NEED:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
paprika to taste
2 pounds beef cube steaks
3 green bell pepper, sliced into rings (optional- for those who don't like peppers)
3 red bell pepper, sliced into rings (optional-for those who don t like peppers)
4 onions, sliced into rings
4 (14.5 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes ( can use ketcup- simply use a generous amount per layer)

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and pepper, and paprika. Dredge* the steaks in the flour mixture, and place in the skillet. Brown steaks on both sides, and remove from heat.
In a slow cooker, alternate layers of steak, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes.
Cover, and cook 6 to 8 hours on Low, until steaks are very tender.
*even though you mix the salt, pepper and paprika into the flour I just don t think enough actually adheres to the steak so when I place it in the crock pot I lightly sprinkle some more over the steaks.

Enjoy!
