Crockpot Swiss Steak

    1 1/2 lbs. beef round steak, cut 3/4 inch thick
    3 teaspoons flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon dry mustard
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    2 teaspoons shortening
    1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes
    1 small onion, sliced
    1 stalk celery, sliced
    2 medium carrots, sliced
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    1/4 water

Cut meat into pieces that will fit in your crockpot. Combine flour,
salt, mustard, pepper, and garlic powder. Pound 2 tablespoons of the
flour mixture into the meat. Brown the meat in the shortening on both
sides. After browning meat, transfer to crockpot.

Stir remaining flour into pan drippings in the skillet. Stir in the
remaining ingredients and cook until thick and bubbly. Pour over meat
in the crockpot. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Serve with hot cooked
noodles or rice.
