Meatless Chicken Fried Steak
I have been a vegetarian for the last 4 years, and missed some of the things I used to eat. Chicken fried steak is one of them; so through searching recipes and my own experience with "fake meats", I created this awesome recipe. It tastes just like the real deal, especially with country gravy (McCormick has a mix that doesn't have any meat).
