Slow-Cooked Swiss Steak

I love the Fall and Winter months when you can have yummy things cooking in your crockpot all day, making the house smell delightful.  I also love having dinners like this on days when I am busy in the afternoon.  I can come home, cook some noodles and veggies and dinner is ready to go.   This is an old family favorite of ours.  The meat is SO tender, with great flavor.  We love it!

I like it served over pasta.
