First I melt a bit of butter in a frying pan and pan sear the sides of the meat to create a nice seared flavor.

I take my favorite soups (1 canned and 1 dry instant.... one thing we often use is mushroom soup and instant onion soup) and break apart the chunks and pieces and dissolve them into a quart of water and pour it over the meat in a slow cooker and cook for 1-2 days, stirring occasionally.
