1-1-1: Got this from the lady who was my mother-in-law. You take 1 pound of chuck, cubed, 1 medium onion and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup. Wash the meat and cut up the onion into medium to small pieces. Put meat, onion and soup (don't add water to the condensed soup) into a casserole and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. Voila! Good meal, especially on top of mashed or boiled potatoes with a little salad.
