CHICKEN FRIED STEAK W/CREAM GRAVY
This is a recipe for Chicken Fried Steak, one of the staple foods of Texas. Like with fried chicken, folks in each family or restaurant tend to have their own little "secrets" to preparing Chicken Fried Steak, so you can play with the recipe a bit. But if it don't include the cream gravy, it ain't been prepared right and it ain't a "secret" worth keeping.

CHICKEN FRIED BACON W/CREAM GRAVY
Bacon - it's the icecream of the meat world, high in Vitamin-G (grease) and bound to make the food police crazy! This side of fat douple-dipped in fat then fried in fat & served with a side of fat (cream gravy) recipe comes from Sodolak's Original Country Inn restaurant in Snook, Texas. Cream gravy is my own recipe. I do not admit to ever making fried bacon so prep time is a guesstimate ;)

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN W/CREAM GRAVY
This chicken is crispy and the best I've eaten! It is important to follow the instructions on when to cover or uncover chicken during frying. That's what makes it crispy. To me, this is the ultimate comfort food with the delicious cream gravy. Prep and cook times are approximate.

Steps:
- Heat bacon drippings or oil in a large skillet over medium-hi heat; add ground beef and onion and cook and stir, breaking meat into small crumbs, until meat and onions have browned, about 7 minutes.
- Push meat to side of pan and drain off all but 1 1/2 tablespoons pan drippings; return to low heat and whisk flour into pan drippings until smooth.
- Slowly add milk and stir until smooth.
- Move meat back into center of pan and stir to coat with gravy; cook until thickened, season with salt and pepper to taste and serve over split baking powder biscuits, toast or corn bread or over mashed potatoes.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality bacon: Look for brands that use pork belly instead of pork shoulder, as these tend to provide a meatier and more flavorful bacon.
- Cook the bacon slowly and evenly: Overcooking the bacon will make it tough and chewy, so take your time and cook it over medium heat until it's golden brown and crispy.
- Use a good quality flour for the gravy: All-purpose flour is a good option, but if you want a thicker, more flavorful gravy, try using a higher-protein flour like bread flour or semolina flour.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to add your own favorite seasonings or ingredients to the gravy. Some popular options include garlic, onion, celery, and bell pepper.
Conclusion:
Chicken fried bacon with cream gravy is a delicious and comforting dish that can be served as a main course or as a side. The bacon is crispy and flavorful, while the gravy is rich and creamy. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this dish is sure to be a hit.
