A Comforting London Broil That Practically Cooks Itself

There's something special about slow cooker meals. The ease of tossing ingredients together in the morning and coming home to a house filled with the comforting aroma of a perfectly cooked roast is simply unbeatable. One dish that shines in the slow cooker is the London Broil, a lean yet flavorful cut of beef that's often overlooked. This recipe brings it to life with a rich, savory blend of mushroom, tomato, and onion flavors, slow-cooked to perfection. Whether you're preparing a cozy family dinner or just craving a hearty meal, this dish is sure to deliver on flavor and comfort.

Why This Recipe Works

The magic of this London Broil recipe lies in its simplicity and the way the slow cooking method tenderizes the meat, allowing the flavors to deeply infuse. The combination of cream of mushroom soup, tomato soup, and dry onion soup mix creates a rich and flavorful gravy that pairs beautifully with the beef. As the meat cooks low and slow, it becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender, making it perfect to serve over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.

Recipe: Savory Slow Cooker London Broil

Ingredients:

• 2-3 pounds London broil (or other lean beef roast)
• 1 (10 oz) can cream of mushroom soup (undiluted)
• 1 (10 oz) can tomato soup (undiluted)
• 1 package dry onion soup mix

Directions:

Step One:
Place your London broil in a lightly sprayed crock pot. This ensures the meat won't stick, and cleanup will be a breeze.

Step Two:
In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, tomato soup, and dry onion soup mix. Stir them together until they're well blended. This mixture will create a deliciously thick gravy as it cooks.

Step Three:
Pour the soup mixture over the London broil, making sure to cover it completely. This will help the flavors soak into the meat as it slowly cooks.

Step Four:
Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on high for 6 to 8 hours. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your roast; thicker cuts may take closer to 8 hours.

As the roast cooks, the soups meld together to create a thick, flavorful gravy that coats the tender beef. This gravy is excellent when served over rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes, making it a complete meal the whole family will love.
