We loved this! I had never made this kind of dish before, and didn't think that I would like it, boy was I wrong! Very easy and simple. We did have to double the flour to get the gravy thick enough and we also added some onion powder, garlic poweder and a little parsley to the gravy. I also made a sort of unsweetened belgian style waffle instead of the biscuits. Great dish that we will make again! Thanks so much for sharing this.

This was a very good dish. I made Recipe #189625 instead of biscuits. This definately fills you up. My DH thought it was great. I was in a hurry when I made it, so I don't know if the gravy thickens up more with time (I gave it about 20 mins), but it was a little too thin for me. I added 3 tablespoons of cornstarch (mixed with 1/4 c water) to it. That thickened it right up to the consistency I wanted.

We enjoyed this dish. The gravy tasted very good. I used 4 bouillion cubes. I didn't add more salt since the bouillon cubes added plenty of salt for me. Will make again. Thanks Danialle. Bullwinkle.
