Ingredients:

• 1 large onion (thinly sliced)
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

Spray the inside of a 3-5 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.

Place the sliced onions in the slow cooker.

Combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add steaks, a few at a time; shake until completely coated.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the steaks, a few at a time, and cook until lightly browned on each side.

In a bowl, whisk together the 3 gravy mixes with remaining 1 cup water. Add to slow cooker; cover and cook on low for 30 minutes longer.
