Cube Steak Casserole

As we are preparing for our first hurricane experience which may or may not effect us, I have been drawn to comfy, homey dishes.  The kind of dish that is like a big-ol-hug from your Grandma.You know, staring down an angry category 4 hurricane, pushing it out to sea with your mid powers can sure take it out of you. 
This dish was a perfect choice, but careful, this is one FUGLY dish. 
Fugly, but YUM-I-LICIOUS!
This is one of those dishes that I wished for a scratch and sniff feature for my blog.
The highly affordable cube steak cooks until fork tender with creamy, beefy, mushroom-y rice on top.
The only change I will make next time is to cut the cube steaks into smaller steaks.  I had some gargantuan pieces that I ended up having to split because they were just too big, so I think cutting them into palm sized steaks will help with serving.

Cube Steak Casserole
Recipe Adapted From:  The Serendipity Bistro
  • 4-6 Cube Steaks
  • 1 packet dry Onion Soup mix
  • 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
  • 1 1/2 cans water (soup can, obviously)
  • 1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms, drained and chopped small
  • 1 cup Minute rice (brown or white)
  • flour seasoned to taste.  I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Dredge cube steaks in seasoned flour. Brown cube steaks on both sides in a skillet of hot oil. Transfer cube steaks to a 9x13 baking dish. Mix Cream of Mushroom Soup, Onion Soup, Mushrooms, and water together. Pour over cube steaks. Sprinkle rice over all (aiming most to be in the liquid portion). Cover with foil & bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

    This sounds so good! I live in Louisiana and know how you are feeling right now. It is a scary feeling "the not knowing" when and where this storm will go. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

    Siggy Girl,
    I'll be keeping you and your family in my prayers as this crazy storm comes through the East coast. I too have been thinking that a nice batch of "comfort foods" are called for as we wait out this storm. And this one you have here looks like just the meal I'm looking for! Off to get me some cube steaks!

    That daggone hurricane just keeps getting closer and closer to the east coast, doesn't. I've seen more than my fair share of hurricanes. The last one I experienced was when I was pregnany with Alex and Gene was out to sea and we had no power for 2 weeks. Oh joy! I do not miss those living by the water days (but I do miss Norfolk..lol). Anyhoo, this looks good to me. It may be fugly but some of the best foods that look ugly are the best tasting. Except for pigs feet. Just can't get on board with those...
