Perfect flavor and texture. The hot sauce is a nice touch that doesn't take over flavor or spice it too much. Absolutely delicious. -
Very yummy! -
The gravy and coating are excellent, but nothing is done to tenderize the meat other than pound it. Since it cooks quickly, the meat stays fairly tough. I loved the taste, but the texture of the meat wasn't quite what I am used to in Chicken Fried Steak. Made for 123 Hits Tag game. -

I made this for my husband for dinner tonight and he loved it! I used cube steak and whole milk instead of evaporated. Thanks for posting! Made for Pick A Chef event.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I grew up in rural east Texas and Louisiana before being transplanted to the beautiful state of Kentucky at the age of 17....so for the most part, my 'hard drive' is programmed for rich, southern style food. Recipes for things like mashed potatoes, cream gravy, pot roast, chicken fried steak and chili are burned in to my DNA!! ?I will never deny my love for rich, southern foods and I'm not a fan of stripping away all the fat and flavor in order to lighten up my favorite southern staples, however (fortunately) my culinary horizons expand beyond my roots and I love finding new foods and new ways of cooking that are just as delicious and in many cases much healthier. ?I do receive an incredible amount of joy from feeding others....a trait I definately attribute to my southern roots.
