Do You Guys Think This Will Be Good?

"The steak is cooked with condensed tomato soup mixed with cream of mushroom soup. Dry onion soup mix is sprinkled over the top. Easy by any standard."
INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
2 pounds flank steak
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix

DIRECTIONS
Place meat in the bottom of the slow cooker; if necessary, slice meat to make it fit!
In a medium bowl, mix together mushroom and tomato soup. Pour mixture over beef. Sprinkle dry onion soup mix over top.
Cover, and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.

see, this sounds like it's either going to be really good in that ghetto midwestern food kind of way (a methodology pretty much DEFINED by condensed mushroom and/or tomato soup from a can and/or Kraft products and/or smashed potato chips as garnish or topping) or really disgusting in that ghetto midwestern food kind of way, but i was drawn in my the super long cook time which should equal serious tenderness, and also by the very few ingredients required. i already had the soup mix in the cupboard and had defrosted the broil without really knowing what i was going to do with it. i couldn't TOTALLY leave the recipe alone, though- i put a can of button mushrooms on the bottom of the crock pot, put a layer of thinly sliced white onion over that, put about 5 large, minced cloves of garlic over that, and splashed about 1/4 cup of worchestershire sauce over that before laying down the broil, tomato/mushroom soup mix (i stirred in some olive oil, maybe 1/8 of a cup) and the onion soup stuff. i put quite a bit of fresh ground black pepper on top of that... maybe too much, but we'll see. i'm hoping it'll be real wet and tender in a barbeque-ish kind of way... i bought these great little rolls, and would like to have little london broil sandwiches to tide me over until cyd gets back and buys groceries again. i'm really unsure, though- this one could definately go either way. i've never used a crock pot before, either, so anything could happen. what a whirlwind!


PS, my math final was EVIL, and i have no idea how i did. i'm sure i passed the final and everything, so i know i got an A in the course, but if i got a C or a D on the final, i wouldn't be shocked... which is not to say i wouldn't be upset, lol. he gave me a 35 PAGE, 70 QUESTION practice final THE DAY BEFORE THE EXAM, and it had about a 10% bearing on the ACTUAL exam. i kind of admire him for blowing the lazy fuckers in his class out of the water, though. when i told him how rotten the test was, he laughed. he's a badass motherfucker. i'm gonna miss old swifty. he wasn't worried about me, though- he gave everybody the opportunity to seriously insulate themselves against the final (i had a 99.16, and could afford to get as low as a 48% on the final and still get an A in the class, for example) but people took advantage, got super lazy, "wanted a stimulus that they haven't earned" as swifty put it. he's the man, though. seriously- i've never understood math before in my damn life. he's a great teacher.

I'm going to do a seperate post about the awards ceremony in the very near future. 'twas a good, wierd time.
