Jagerschnitzel

It's all good's Note:

After spending 6 years in Germany, I decided to finally make this meal from scratch. This really turned out to be a very tasty meal. I use the left over oil for a side order of fries while I fix the gravy. The gravy also makes an excellent dip for the shoe string fries.

My son had just come back from Germany and asked for this. Cooked this and it was excellent, just what was ordered.

This was excellent. The only difference when I was in Germany was, the cutlets were slit and stuffed with mushrooms!
