We loved this recipe! I haven't managed to get my husband to develop a taste for Country Gravy yet, but my 8 year old daughter liked it and she doesn't usual like gravy.

I didn't have the guts to make my own gravy, but the chicken fried steaks were a HUGE hit!

I fry it up as directed, then dip in buttermilk and bread again to make it crisper. Also, try dried minced onion instead of onion powder. I use a powdered mix for the gravy, but I'm just hopeless with gravy :) Overall, we use this recipe about every two weeks and my fiance (a VERY manly eater) LOVES it.

This recipe is in a constant circulation with my fiance and I. I make it probably once every two weeks, if not more (when it's cold we tend to make it more). The only thing I change is that I fry it up as directed, then I dip in the buttermilk mixture and bread again. Also, the gravy recipe doesn't work for me, so I end up buying some powdered gravy mix. Try dried minced onions in place of the onion powder, also.
