FOIL PACKET CUBE STEAK DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a 10 x 13-inch cake pan with aluminum foil, leaving enough extra foil on the long and short sides of the pan to easily seal into a foil packet later.
• Place cube steaks in aluminum foil in one layer.
• Combine condensed soup, milk and dry soup mix thoroughly and spread mixture over the meat.
• Arrange cubed (3/4-inch) potatoes (with or without skin), sliced celery (1/2-inch pieces) and baby carrots evenly over soup layer.
• Sprinkle 1 tbs. water over all vegetables.
• Seal the foil tightly, making sure that steam will not escape the packet.
• Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Remove pan from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before opening foil packet. If vegetables are not completely cooked, re-seal the packet and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
• Serve immediately.
• Notes: Instead of cubed steak, I've also used flank steak.
