This Chicken-Fried Steak With Country Cream Gravy has classic down-home country flavor and makes use of a few simple but clever tricks to yield a dish with a restaurant-grade, thick, unbroken, delicious crust. I just love some of these country-style recipes, don’t you? Of course, it doesn’t hurt that this recipe only takes about an hour and yields a creamy, savory gravy that tastes great on a number of different things aside from the chicken-fried steak itself. And it’s a great way to make good use of a rather inexpensive cut of beef.

You’ll need a large skillet and some large cooling racks for this recipe. Other than that, you won’t need any extra-special skills or equipment to put this yummy country meal together. The gravy would go nicely over mashed potatoes, boiled new potatoes, or even certain crisp green veggies, though I just couldn’t resist really getting into the country spirit and having some sweet potato fries with it. Whatever you choose, you need not make it too complicated to put together a hearty full meal.

These Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas are a delicious sweet treat for parties or home snacking, and by the time you say the name, you can be about done making them. I have to say, I wouldn’t have thought of making a chimichanga into a dessert item, but it works beautifully here. It’s not only sweet and creamy – it’s so quick and easy, too! You’ll literally whip this up in no time, which means more time for you to kick back and relax.

Not bad for only seven ingredients, eh? It’s such a breeze to make, and with the combination of strawberry cream cheese and cinnamon sugar, it has the perfect flavors for all seasons. It also is very easily expanded, should you have an extra-large group to feed.

If you want a dessert for fall (or the holidays), you should try these Apple Cider Doughnuts. They have a nice fruity flavor and a rich blend of sweet cold-weather spices.

Hey, normal glazed doughnuts are delicious, but sometimes, you want something a little different. If you want something with a bit of holiday flavor but don’t really feel up to making a cake or pie, these apple cider doughnuts are a good go-to option.

Wow, The Crust On This Is Divine!

When I was a kid, my mother used to make the most delicious pork chops! I don’t know why, but somehow I thought they were really difficult to prepare so I never tried to make them when I grew up and moved into my own house. Of course, I was totally wrong – cooking pork chops isn’t difficult at all. Later on I started experimenting with different recipes – I was never quite happy with the result as I thought they definitely didn’t look or taste as perfect as the ones my mother made. But then I came across this recipe!

Would you believe that you can have six pork chops that look that beautiful in just half an hour?  And, being crunchy and savory on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside, these Double Crunch Pork Chops taste wonderful, too.

The Homemade Honey Garlic Sauce makes for a nice finishing touch and likely would go well on a number of other meat dishes. I have to say, it had been a while since I had pork chops with a crust anywhere close to this good, especially from a recipe that called for the pork chops to be pan-fried.  I believe that this is what we Southerners call “chicken-fried”:  get a good, solid crust on the outside that seals all the moisture and flavor inside it.  Boy, is it tasty!
