Nana said...

My New 30 said...

rebel said...

This is my hubby's ultimate comfort food, he would eat it everyday. That is if I would fix it for him! I don't because I don't want to overeat, HA!

My New 30 said...

I hear ya! I always make myself exactly ONE otherwise, I'd eat oh, about THREE!!! :)

Nanette Merrill and daughters said...

Delicious!!! I need to make this.

Krystal said...

This is what I always order at restaurants. . .but here I live in Utah and I'm sure we don't make it right. :) I'm getting some steaks in my co-op box next month and I've been thinking this recipe would be good for it. And then you post the recipe! You rock.

And my fiber-one box came. I LOVE it!! The water bottle rocks!

My New 30 said...

Hi Nanette! I think you'll like it - enjoy!!

Hey Krystal!! I thought it was a neat little package and hey, the coupons alone were worth entering for!

justjoycee said...

Love it, and I do have my bacon grease in the frig!!!!

justjoycee said...

I need help with the gravy!!!!

My New 30 said...

:) on the bacon grease!!!

You can do it Joyce - just make sure that the roux is not too hot when you go to stir in the liquids. That's why I move it off the burner but it depends on what skillet you are using. I don't like using cast iron for roux (except for the oven roux) because it retains heat so well, that it can burn the roux quick. Also a heavy bottomed stainless skillet holds the heat really well too, so you just have to let the pan cool just a tad before trying to incorporate the liquids. And course you have to be quick on the draw with the whisk too!

Krystal said...

talk to me about bacon grease mary, I live in utah, and keeping bacon grease is unheard of! I made your breakfast queasadilla this morning, and poured the grease from the bacon into a jar. Do I just keep adding to it, and keep it in the fridge?

My New 30 said...

Yep Krystal - that's it! Just let it cool a little bit before adding it to the cold jar and remember to use it, that's all!! I don't know what the shelf life is for it but it will last a long time.

redkathy said...

Oh hey, I made some killer white gravy for these with cream of mushroom soup. I found this recipe on one of my foodie friends blog. It was awesome. The "jar" is a common thing lol

Donna-FFW said...

I HAVE GOT to try this.. My husband keeps bugging me to make it, this looks unbelievable!!

Momma Miller said...

Oh yum! I'm gonna have to try this--especially the gravy. My husband and I have tried to make homemade gravy and it's always missing something. We don't eat real bacon (we eat the turkey bacon) so I guess we'll try the canola oil. Thanks! Great blog, by the way!

That steak looks AWESOME!!!

Oxford Impressions said...

That looks so good. I only get chicken fried steak when we go to Lamberts Restaurant. Along with fried okra, fried hash brown taters, macaroni and tomato and mashed potatoes with gravy! My son and daughter just moved within 3 miles or so of a Lamberts. So maybe now I'll still getting it more often. I'd make it at home, but I don't do frying with fat and flour. Too much a family history of heart disease to make that a habit at home. Yours looks delish!

White Trash Momma said...

Man...I love chicken fried steak. I just want to rub the gravy all over myself and run around in circles.

My New 30 said...

Redkathy - you know that I love cream of mushroom LOL!

Donna - it's really pretty easy. I hope you give it a try!

Rocksee - thanks! It's good stuff for sure.

Shaylynn - sounds like MY kinda place!!!

WTM - LMAO!!!

Auntie E said...

Chicken fried steak with gravy is one of my favorites. Haven't had it in some time. Weight control you know. Boy is this tempting.:->

My New 30 said...

Auntie E - I sure know what you mean!! Every since I started this blog and tried getting all of my favorites up... well, let's just say that I'm not real friendly with my scale these days LOL! But ... for those of you not trying to build a recipe base for a blog, it's all about pacing yourself and keeping things balanced! This - as are most of our southern goodies - are best for one of those occasional treats!

Thanks for stopping by!

I feel like Homer Simpson looking at those pictures.

"Gaaaahhhhblahhgaaaa"

I'm a southern gal and I LOVE chicken fried chicken and chicken fried steak. I love how Chili's serves it up with mashed potatos, Tx Toast and perfectly buttered and seasoned corn. I top it off with some sweet tea. Mmm.

My New 30 said...

Me too Mya ... that sounds like the making of a great meal to me!
