The recipe for smothered steak here: (thriftyfun.com) sounds wonderful, but I would like to know if someone can convert this dish to a dutch oven. What would be the temperature and cooking time? Thank you.

Vicki, Why don't you call your county extension office and you will be assured you are receiving correct information? Good luck. Hamnurse
Crock-pot cooking is an easy way for busy people to get dinner on the table. Crock-pot recipes tend to center around stews, soups and roasts that cook well in liquid and do not require a lot of attention.
Step 2 Adjust the original cooking time. Crock-pot recipes that call for the low setting cook for approximately four times as long as a dish that simmers in a Dutch oven at 325 degrees F.
Step 3 Experiment with seasonings when cooking in the Dutch oven. It is not uncommon to find that foods taste blander when cooked in the oven. Add up to twice as much dried herbs as you would in the original crock-pot recipe.
Step 4 Give yourself plenty of time to allow for variations in the recipe conversion process. Cooking times as well as measurements are approximate, and they may need to be adjusted during the actual cooking process. Start your meal early enough in the day so your family won't be waiting into the evening if you underestimated the cooking time.
