It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Flank steak is the traditional cut of beef used in fajitas. The crock pot helps make it tender with its low and slow cooking.

1 1/2 pound flank steak, trimmed

Combine the salsa, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl until blended.
Place the trimmed flank steak in the bottom of the crock pot. Evenly pour the salsa mixture over the meat.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion on top.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
Remove the meat from the crock pot and place on a cutting board. Let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, scoop out the vegetables from the crock pot with a slotted spoon and place on a platter.
After the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain. Place on the platter with the vegetables. Sprinkle with the cilantro.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

This recipe was easy to put together and delicious. I did change a few things. I seasoned the steak with cumin salt and pepper and browned on both sides then sliced up prior to placing in the crockpot. I also placed the onions and bell peppers 1/2 weays through so they would still retain a little crunch which we prefer.
