Recipe Notes for Swiss Steak and Rice

In the prep time on this one, it says 20 minutes. That is not prep time at the beginning though. This is basically a dump and go recipe, but you need the extra 10-15 minutes at the end to make up your rice.
Speaking of the rice in this Crock Pot Swiss Steak and Rice. Oh. My. Yum. I love beef. It would be my choice anyday, but it is hard to decide which is the best part of this recipe…the rice is that good!
Now I know this will be a shocker to everyone, but I used my Hamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cooker. I use this one so much that I will probably cry (and then immediately buy a new one) when I finally wear it out!
As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
