Steak & Potato Cattlemen's Soup
This is a terrific way to use leftover steak and potatoes or an eye of round roast and potatoes. 

2-1/2

 cups (1 pound) leftover cooked eye of round steak, cut into bite-sized chunks

1/2

 cup chopped onions (frozen onions work well)
2-1/2 cups (2 large potatoes) leftover, fully cooked potatoes (with skins on), cut into bite-sized chunks 1 (1 1/4-ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
4 ounces fresh sliced mushrooms 4 cups water
1/2 cup barbecue sauce    

Spray a slow cooker with nonfat cooking spray.
In the slow cooker combine the steak, potatoes, mushrooms, barbecue sauce, onions, soup mix, and water and mix well.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.

Menu idea: I like serving this in the early spring, fall, and winter months with other comfort foods such as the Pumpkin Apple Bake from Busy People's Low-Fat Cookbook and Sweet Corn Bread (page 41).
