We already know that my husband is a “Meat… po-tay-toes” kinda guy. So any excuse for that combination seems to be reason for celebration to him.
Well, having had country fried steak (again) earlier in the week, we had two more defrosted cube steaks sitting in the fridge, wanting to be used. The man was cool with having a repeat of country fried steak, but I wanted something that tasted a little different.
So I improvised. And want to know something? It turned out well.
Instead of just using a flour breading, I used half flour and half breadcrumbs for this one. I also sauteed some onions with a bit of Worcestershire sauce, then made a (from one of those mix packages) mushroom brown gravy.
The mashed potatoes were homemade too… just boiled some potato chunks (with skin. mmm), then squished them with milk, sour cream, and a cheese blend.
Yum!
The lighting in our new house isn’t too conducive to taking good food pictures… hence the declining quality (in my opinion) of images here. I need to figure something out.
Hi! I'm Emily. I'm a Navy wife and brand new stay at home mom. I cook simple, delicious, grain-free recipes, do crafts, decorate on a budget, and keep a happy home. I breastfeed, babywear, cloth diaper, and co-sleep, but I'm not a hippie.
Maybe if you took the pictures on the stove with the hood light on….
Mmm homemade mashed potatoes was for dinner here too (although ours were sans skins and with lots of garlic, way too much garlic actually!)
But I have to say I don’t think your pictures look worse for the wear.
