Chicken Fried Steak dinner

The boys have been asking me to make Pioneer Woman's Chicken Fried Steak for a while now--
 and since it has been a year since the last time I made it, I figured it was time.

I started with PW's Creamy Mashed Potatoes. {You can find the recipe HERE.}

These are definitely not low fat, but oh my they are so good!

Next up was the Chicken Fried Steak. {Recipe is HERE.}

Making a big mess. Breading the meat.

Now for the frying. Again, not low-fat at all, but so good.

A sign of a good fried meal is all the grease splatters on the cookbook page. :)

Now for the gravy.

And finally dinner is served

to some very happy boys.

And maybe the best part? Leftovers for Monday night's dinner! :)
