White House Swiss Steak

Recipe #55431 | 2 hours | add private note

By: Susie in Texas

This recipe is said to have been a favorite of former President Lyndon B. Johnson. It is from Lone Star Legacy II, a cookbook by the Austin Junior Forum. My family likes this recipe because the vegetable juice is not as over-powering as canned tomatoes.

I have tried many swiss steak recipes...but have to say this is the worst...I used spicy v8, even that did not help the bla taste.

    This was a great supper last night. The only thing I did different was to add a couple cloves of minced garlic to the onions and increased the thyme to 1/2 tsp., as thyme is my favorite herb lately! Served it over rice as you suggested, with tossed green salad and Texas Toast(in your honor)!!! Mickie
