One of my favorite aspects of your videos is watching the close captioning (I have significant hearing loss). The southern in you shows when you say "boil", it shows as "bowl". The captioning usually understands oil, but occasionally shows as oal. Makes me laugh every time. I look forward to Tuesdays and Fridays for sure. Keep on keepin' on!
I married a southerner and the struggle is real when it comes to voice recognition software. AI technology absolutely CANNOT understand him. He gets so frustrated with Siri sometimes trying to voice to text or play a song. She never understands him correctly and always plays the most random music when he asks to hear a song. It’s so funny to me but it makes him super mad so I try REALLY hard not to laugh.
"Bless her heart, she ain't never had nothin' to eat" 😅😅😅 That Gracie Lou just brings so much joy to your family. I loved all your recipes today, but those chicken fried steaks are calling my name! I don't think I've ever seen them on any menu up here in New York.
It’s country fried steak and although your recipe looks delicious, it was overly complicated. Next time you might want to try coating the meat in flour, salt and pepper then pan fry in half the oil. That’s really all that’s needed. We always add onions to the pan while frying and then add flour for gravy.
@@nancybrewer8494 I am 83 from southern Alabama and my mother and I remember her mother always called it County Fried Steak. So my first hand knowledge goes back to almost the year 1763. But you know best, bless your heart.
This is my favorite channel to watch. 😊. Where else can you find delicious and easy meals AND be so entertained at the same time? You both make me laugh. I love it when Gracie Lou makes her entrance and you call her Ma’am. 😊. So cute! ❤❤❤
@@MandyintheMaking …please let Steven know that he was “almost” responsible for my drink going up and out my nose! I laughed so hard in the video when he bit into the hard bread! It’s like eating a turtle 🐢! Not his exact words but, I laughed so dang hard that I had to pause the video. 😂🤣
Yes please on all three meals. Bless Gracie Lou's heart...she ain't never had nothing to eat 😂 Hmm, sounds like my 4 dogs that never get fed😂. Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing.
I’m a long time subscriber…first time commenting. I’m an old Italian woman from the east but I’ve been in Iowa many years. Raised two big hungry marines and a daughter who loves food, twice that because the same in grandkids, so I’ve cooked many many meals. I also had a catering business and have cooked for huge numbers, so I know my stuff. Wanted to tell you that I’ve cooked many recipes you’ve shared and I love the hell out of watching you and your husband in the kitchen! Makes me smile ❤️
I'm glad I'm not the only one who makes messes no matter how hard I try not to. Just can't help it sometimes. 😀 Mandy, you made me laugh when you said Gracie was being violent with the cheese 🧀
Hi Mandy, this dyed in the wool New England girl is loving your channel and southern charm. Every year I decide on a different cookbook in which to make a different recipe from every month. This year I decided to make at least one of your meals a month. I discovered you right around Christmas and already made the Rice, Beans and Kielbasa. Yum. I'm all alone so I'll be halfing your halfs. Anyway I do have a tip for you, I've found the best thing to use for when you want to coat chicken, pork ect. in crumbs is a pie plate. It gives you the surface space of a plate, but with higher sides. I also use it for when I make French toast. And I've heated up Leftovers in the microwave because my dinner dishes are vintage. I hardly ever make pies but keep 2 pie plates in my cabinet. Oh yeah, I take the stems off the spinach too. They go into my bag of veggie scraps in the freezer for making my own veggies broth.
Chicken Fried Steak is southern. My Momma was born in NC then they all (the family) moved to Whitmire SC. I ate LOTS of southern food and still eat. I do cook southern food and good northern cooking ❤
Tip for you if you make home made gravy with chicken fried steak I use the left over seasoned flour to make the gravy. I don't put corn stack my flour coating so not sure how that would affect the gravy. You could mix all the seasons before you put in the corn starch at set some a side
Mandy, whenever I bread something I put my breaded meat on my cookie drying rack to let the breading set on the meat before cooking. That way the breading really attaches to the meat so It never falls off. I let it sit on that drying rack for about 5 mins before I cook it. Just an FYI for ya. We love chicken fried steak too.
One of my husbands favorites, southern fried steak. I love the pioneer gravy mix. Their sausage gravy is so good. I might add some extra sausage to it just to kick it up, but it's great alone.
Steven is the best taste tester Gives Mandy the best description to her delicious cooking ,with complimentary and excitement. Love it , gonna show my husband , expect him to do the same 😂
I love your videos. I am going through a lot rn and you're videos are on in the background all the time even when I'm not watching or have seen them multiple times. You're voice is so soothing and you're family is so beautiful and real ❤️
Chicken Fried Steak is one of my all time favorites.. when making the breading, along with the seasonings, I also add about a teaspoon or 2 of lemon pepper. Just adds a touch of added flavor.
Canadian here and I can tell you that chicken-fried steak IS a Southern thing. However, I used to travel to Seattle/Everett in WA and it's everywhere there so ... let's just say it's Southern from ME! lol
I made country fried steak last Sunday and you’re right it’s a southern staple. And I only make it in the “Southern Oven” aka deep frying. 😂 Even though I just made it, I kinda want it again. Hi Steven and Gracie Lou!
Yes, it is a southern thing. I was born and raised in NJ, I moved south about 30 years ago. I experience my 1st Chicken Fried Steak Dinner in Texas and started craving it a month later.
I keep a box of gloves in my kitchen for breading things. Peel the icky gooey glove off when finished and voila! No mess. I also double dip my chx fry. First like you did in flour mixture then wet mix again THEN in crushed ritz. I freeze them awhile so breading stays on them fry. Oh. Yum. Yes, peppered gravy is next best thing to homemade. I make it in the pan with the drippings and you can’t tell the difference.
Mandy again you have knocked the recipes out of the park. Your side ones looked amazing too!! Btw on your chicken fried steak my mom used to make them that way too another thing she used to do is cut the cube steak in slices and would call them steak fingers.
I love watching you guys you make me smile. and you are yourselves. and Pioneer gravy is the best. only ones I get. Love them all. the bisquit one they have is so good for sausage to put on bisquits.
Hi Mandy made the Cheeseburger Pasta dish tonight and it was yummy! Your Worcestershire tip was a good one. A big “Thank you” to you and your viewer Deb who sent that recipe in. Lord bless and keep you, and your family, always!
Born and raised in California and my absolute favorite breakfast is chicken fried steak, eggs with biscuits and gravy. Just love your videos. Thank you.
Have you ever tried putting your panko flour mix in a storage bag and shake them like shake n bake less mess and much easier ❤ lot's of love from New Jersey ❤hope your staying warm ❤
Momma always used pork cube steaks to make this. She was born and lived in Michigan until she was 57. Her mom , dad and grandparents all were born and raised in Michigan. Not sure where our “southern” came from! lol!
Mandy you make me laugh! You are awesome! So glad I found you. Appreciate what you help me do for my family. Dinner ideas are not nearly as hard because of you!
Another great edition. Two things to consider. ALWAYS choke up on a knife, so your thumb, first finger, and sometimes second, are on the metal right in front of the handle. MUCH more control. Cutting an onion, or other dense veg. with a finger on top of the blade is not safe. Also the breading. Wet, and dry method. You were using your left hand to pick up the tenders from the drench, place that item on the plate with the dredge. The other hand only handles whatever is already in the dry coating mix, and to place it, in an air-fryer basket, on a pan, or holding tray, etc. Always glad to see the notification pop up for a new vid.
Hey Mandy ,I'm from North Dakota when I was little my mom made it all the time ,now I pass it down to my girl showing they how my mom made it n the love it.
Tip I use my airfryer for all my fried stuff, since gallbladder removal in August. When frying in airfryer make sure you coat the flour where there is no dryness of flour showing. I make fried fish by dipping in egg and then in flour/cornmeal. My husband thinks its as good as frying it in oil on stove. We love watching you both and love hiow real you keep it!!😊
I'm from New York. Not sure of the origins, but my guys love chicken fried steak. I never tried the packet of pepper gravy. Might give it a try, though the gravy is simple to make. Sometimes we just don't feel like it, though 🤷♀️
When breading chicken I normally use one hand to dip into the wet mixture and the other into the dry mixture. It seems to keep my hand from getting so gummy. Everything you cooked looks amazing! Y'all stay warm in this cold weather :)
I live in Connecticut..chicken fried steak is DEF. A southern thing...ive only ever heard of it at cracker barrel. Not a common dish here lol love u mandy!
I can have a very stressful day at work and when I get home and watch your videos it takes it all away and I’m laughing at you and Steven’s antics 😅. Also the recipes look delish! Keep bringing the joy to my day.
I always smile when I get notified you posted a new video. ❤ I love your videos and recipes. Gracie Lou is so adorable! I just love her. You crack me up. I often forget ingredients and to marinate too. You’re so cute😂 I’m in CA and have never had chicken fried steak. It’s on the menu at some restaurants here. I know many people who love it though. Perhaps I’ll give it a try. I do love a good gravy. Biscuits and gravy is delicious.
I'm from Ontario, Canada and my mom made this when I was a teenager. She probably learned it from a TV show or a magazine. I love chicken fried steak and have made it many times. My friends look me at like "what the heck is that" and then they taste it. lol Everyone I have ever made it for has loved it.
I take cube steak and salt and pepper then flour it then fry it. After it is done I will pour out some of the oil then make the milk gravy. Then I will take the steaks and cut them in bite size pieces and add them to the gravy and serve it with mashed potatoes on the side or put the steak and gravy on the mashed potatoes.
@@susancollins9074 My paternal grandma was from Kentucky in the back woods. She married my grandpa who was from Kentucky originally and they moved to South Central Indiana. We got a little southern accent in our speech.
I learned to pour out all but three tablespoons of the oil, add three tablespoons flour, blend and let cook at least one minute stirring constantly to get rid of the raw flour taste and add milk, cook until it is thick as you like. Salt and pepper to taste.
Mandy, I have been craving Chicken Fried steak.I haven’t made it for years but after seeing how good that yours looked, I’m making it soon. Thanks for the recipe.
I’ve put the cheeseburger filling you made on Hawaiian Rolls and the only difference is layer on cheese, filling then sprinkle cheese. I have added a tablespoon of Dukes to my mixture too. So good! Highly recommend the sliders.
I Definitely have to agree that the days you're on are just the Best. You and Steven are So Pisitive, So Funny and together make Decisions food! All bbn of these are a Must try and the Cheeseburger one sounds Great. You did use the Pioneer Peppered Gravy Mix before. It was when you made the Biscuit Sausage Breakfast Casserole. BTW I make that one often and we Love it!! I use the Pioneer Gravy Mixes Alot and Love all of them if you're in a pinch. Love you Mandy and I tell everyone to watch you. Have a Great weekend and can hardly wait to see what you have for us next week!❤♥️
Thanks for the fun video again! I’m making the country fried steak tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas for dinner. For me, that’s the hard part of cooking...deciding on what to cook! 🥰💕🙏🦋
I grew up in IL and grew up with chicken fried steak, Oreos, pickles, ravioli, candy bars, ice cream, twinkies....you name it, it's fried, especially at the locals fairs.
You guys are ADORABLE! If my husband had shown the appreciation the common tater shows I would have cooked waaaaaay more. It’s no fun cooking for someone who “eats to live” when you want the appreciation of someone who “lives to eat”! Best husband ever!
My husband and I have have been to 38 states (missing the far Northeastern states) and always eat at mom and pop diners. Almost all of them have chicken fried steaks with pepper gravy. I'm going to make the cheeseburger dish tonight. Love your channel.
Mandy the Pioneer Peppered Gravy mix makes excellent sausage gravy for biscuits. I thank you for frying the Chicken Fried Steak. Everything looked delicious. Yes I watched the "sides" video. I need to make the zucchini. Stay warm. Have a great weekend.
Love all of your videos! Lamest Texas claims to be the birthplace of the Chicken Fried Steak. I was born and raised in Georgia and my mom would cook this all the time. Loved it then and still love it and make it today ❤
It is a country thang. We call it country fried steak, but is our dish all over the South. Looks like it's done right heh. In Texas, they call it 'chicken friend steak'. heh
Oh my. I love chicken-fried steak and biscuits and gravy and all the comfort food. But I'm old, and born/bred here in San Diego with Italian friends and large families. So half my recipe repertoire is Italian and the other Mexican. Which is awesome in itself but I struggle with fried stuff. Thanks for everything, love your show!
Oceanside here, love, love, love chicken fried steak breakfast. The best is at Janet's Montana cafe in Alpine. scrambled eggs, biscuits, extra gravy.... mmmmm....
@@lovechangesus Killin' me mon! Seriously, thank you. My niece (by marriage) worked there years ago if I remember correctly. Just put it on the list, and given the weather today, might have to go up in the morning!
Pioneer brand gravy products make great gravy for sausage gravy and biscuits. But it is a bit heavy on the pepper, so you can dilute it a bit with milk.
1: Yes, chicken fried steak is a 100% southern thing, that somehow managed to reach us here in NY, by way of a buffet restaurant that has since gone bankrupt (guess all you can eat is a bad idea sometimes) 2: I haven't really gone and fried anything on the stovetop like that, mainly because I didn't have the cookware needed. Now, I have an enameled cast iron dutch oven, and an enameled cast iron deep frying pan. I'm ready to fry some sh*t (and started with an American take on an Austrian staple. Weinerschitzel, only I used a pounded flat pork chop. My wife loved that, so I did some chicken too. Again, loved it, and told me the obvious thing. "It's not greasy", so I knew I had it right.) 3: This week, I've tried a couple older recipes you've featured. Let me just say that neither one of them had leftovers. 4: When you said the Cheeseburger Pasta needed 3/4 lb of beef, and 1 1/2 cups of pasta, and used 1 lb of pasta, and 1 1/2 cups of pasta, it threw me. I'd have used the lb of meat, and the whole lb of pasta (you were looking for 3/4 of that box, btw) It would keep the ratios just right.
Love you guys and your videos. I am born and raised here in California but, my great grandmother was from Arkansas and she taught me how to make this dish, so maybe it is a very southern thing that I still make often. ❤
Hi Mandy! I am a northern girl and I have never had chicken fried steak. In fact I have never deep fried anything. Im such a klutz I would burn myself for sure. Love watching every Friday! 😊
In Texas we have chicken fried steak as a STAPLE!! Especially since I’m married to a Cowboy!! Ours is just salt and pepper and milk/buttermilk ad flour. ❤️❤️
We love the pioneer pepper gravy..we make sausage gravy with homemade biscuits, and hamburger gravy over toast with that mix..super easy dinner and breakfast
Hi Mandy. I love chicken fried steak but I hate to fry things. I’ve bought the frozen ones from Sam’s and they’re good. That Pioneer pepper gravy is really good! I love it when you sing. Only you would think of turning a Kool and the Gang song into a little kitchen jingle 😂🤣 Thanks for sharing as always.🤗💕
My husband thinks Steven sounds like Tom Hanks. Lol! I bought a chopper after watching you a few times and love it. Hubby saw the cheese grater and thinks we might need one. I noticed you don't use pre shredded very often.
I had to come here and comment once i saw the pioneer gravy. Thats the one my family likes. I learned to make it from scratch but its just easier to make it from a packet sometimes.
I have done chicken in the air fryer. Just coat tgem really good in a healthy oil such as grapeseed oil or avocado oil. It will turn out really nice and crispy. Love your recipes Mandy ❤
One of my favorite aspects of your videos is watching the close captioning (I have significant hearing loss). The southern in you shows when you say "boil", it shows as "bowl". The captioning usually understands oil, but occasionally shows as oal. Makes me laugh every time. I look forward to Tuesdays and Fridays for sure. Keep on keepin' on!
Haha! 🤗
I go to the transcript in the description and wonder who types them up?!? 👀
They ain't from around here. 😁🙃
She's so cute huh? Oil is oal, which rhymes with coal. And others too. All good!
I married a southerner and the struggle is real when it comes to voice recognition software. AI technology absolutely CANNOT understand him. He gets so frustrated with Siri sometimes trying to voice to text or play a song. She never understands him correctly and always plays the most random music when he asks to hear a song. It’s so funny to me but it makes him super mad so I try REALLY hard not to laugh.
That's cute on oal n bowl😊
Yes, chicken fried steak is a truly southern thing.

I love your channel. I always cant wait to make your recipes. I love when steven is with you in the kitchen.
Hi Mandy, this dyed in the wool New England girl is loving your channel and southern charm. Every year I decide on a different cookbook in which to make a different recipe from every month.

Anyway I do have a tip for you, I've found the best thing to use for when you want to coat chicken, pork ect. in crumbs is a pie plate. It gives you the surface space of a plate, but with higher sides. I also use it for when I make French toast.

You need to use the doubled up brown bag shake method to bread meat and no messy plates or counter just chuck it away when done.
One of my husbands favorites, southern fried steak. I love the pioneer gravy mix. Their sausage gravy is so good. I might add some extra sausage to it just to kick it up, but it's great alone.

Chicken Fried Steak is one of my all time favorites.. when making the breading, along with the seasonings, I also add about a teaspoon or 2 of lemon pepper. Just adds a touch of added flavor.

The first time I had Chicken fried steak was in Texas. A friend made it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was her husbands favorite meal.
Sorry. Meant to say It was his favorite. I wasn't.
LOL!!
I couldn't think of a better way to end my birthday than hangin out with y'all!!!! Thanks for making me smile!!!! Love y'all!!!
One of your northern friends here. I believe chicken fried steak is a southern thing. I can never even find cube steaks in any of my grocery stores.
I’m in Ohio and we have cube steak in our grocery stores. They also sell frozen chicken fried steaks at Walmart.
@@melindablunk613 Yes, I have seen the frozen ones.
Find them readily in MN
Kentucky loves chicken/country fried steak and gravy
From Wisconsin, I've been eating chicken fried steak all my life. Just love it, it warms my soul.

Mandy, I have been craving Chicken Fried steak.I haven’t made it for years but after seeing how good that yours looked, I’m making it soon. Thanks for the recipe.
You are so welcome!
I believe a messy cook is the best cook!
I’ve put the cheeseburger filling you made on Hawaiian Rolls and the only difference is layer on cheese, filling then sprinkle cheese. I have added a tablespoon of Dukes to my mixture too. So good! Highly recommend the sliders.
I Definitely have to agree that the days you're on are just the Best. You and Steven are So Pisitive, So Funny and together make Decisions food! All bbn of these are a Must try and the Cheeseburger one sounds Great. You did use the Pioneer Peppered Gravy Mix before. It was when you made the Biscuit Sausage Breakfast Casserole. BTW I make that one often and we Love it!! I use the Pioneer Gravy Mixes Alot and Love all of them if you're in a pinch. Love you Mandy and I tell everyone to watch you. Have a Great weekend and can hardly wait to see what you have for us next week!❤♥️
Thanks for the fun video again! I’m making the country fried steak tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas for dinner. For me, that’s the hard part of cooking...deciding on what to cook! 🥰💕🙏🦋
That chicken fried steak looks delicious. It’s definitely a southern thing. I need to add that to my next grocery list.
I grew up in IL and grew up with chicken fried steak, Oreos, pickles, ravioli, candy bars, ice cream, twinkies....you name it, it's fried, especially at the locals fairs.
You guys are ADORABLE! If my husband had shown the appreciation the common tater shows I would have cooked waaaaaay more. It’s no fun cooking for someone who “eats to live” when you want the appreciation of someone who “lives to eat”! Best husband ever!
I use a pie plate when I coat chicken.
My husband and I have have been to 38 states (missing the far Northeastern states) and always eat at mom and pop diners. Almost all of them have chicken fried steaks with pepper gravy. I'm going to make the cheeseburger dish tonight. Love your channel.
Mandy the Pioneer Peppered Gravy mix makes excellent sausage gravy for biscuits. I thank you for frying the Chicken Fried Steak. Everything looked delicious. Yes I watched the "sides" video. I need to make the zucchini. Stay warm. Have a great weekend.
Love all of your videos! Lamest Texas claims to be the birthplace of the Chicken Fried Steak.
I was born and raised in Georgia and my mom would cook this all the time. Loved it then and still love it and make it today ❤
Yum! Can't wait to try these. I'm sending them to my son, also, because they're right up his alley. Thanks for sharing, Mandy! ❤
It is a country thang. We call it country fried steak, but is our dish all over the South. Looks like it's done right heh. In Texas, they call it 'chicken friend steak'. heh
Love watching both of you cook. You two are so cute in the kitchen 🥰
Oh my. I love chicken-fried steak and biscuits and gravy and all the comfort food. But I'm old, and born/bred here in San Diego with Italian friends and large families. So half my recipe repertoire is Italian and the other Mexican. Which is awesome in itself but I struggle with fried stuff. Thanks for everything, love your show!
Oceanside here, love, love, love chicken fried steak breakfast. The best is at Janet's Montana cafe in Alpine. scrambled eggs, biscuits, extra gravy.... mmmmm....
@@lovechangesus Killin' me mon! Seriously, thank you. My niece (by marriage) worked there years ago if I remember correctly. Just put it on the list, and given the weather today, might have to go up in the morning!
Great recipes today! And your cat just makes me smile!
Pioneer brand gravy products make great gravy for sausage gravy and biscuits. But it is a bit heavy on the pepper, so you can dilute it a bit with milk.
1: Yes, chicken fried steak is a 100% southern thing, that somehow managed to reach us here in NY, by way of a buffet restaurant that has since gone bankrupt (guess all you can eat is a bad idea sometimes)
2: I haven't really gone and fried anything on the stovetop like that, mainly because I didn't have the cookware needed. Now, I have an enameled cast iron dutch oven, and an enameled cast iron deep frying pan. I'm ready to fry some sh*t (and started with an American take on an Austrian staple. Weinerschitzel, only I used a pounded flat pork chop. My wife loved that, so I did some chicken too. Again, loved it, and told me the obvious thing. "It's not greasy", so I knew I had it right.)
3: This week, I've tried a couple older recipes you've featured. Let me just say that neither one of them had leftovers.
4: When you said the Cheeseburger Pasta needed 3/4 lb of beef, and 1 1/2 cups of pasta, and used 1 lb of pasta, and 1 1/2 cups of pasta, it threw me. I'd have used the lb of meat, and the whole lb of pasta (you were looking for 3/4 of that box, btw) It would keep the ratios just right.
Good afternoon Mandy and Steven and thank you for sharing your yummy meals
Love you guys and your videos. I am born and raised here in California but, my great grandmother was from Arkansas and she taught me how to make this dish, so maybe it is a very southern thing that I still make often. ❤
Want to try cheeseburger pasta. Looks yummy!
Hi Mandy! I am a northern girl and I have never had chicken fried steak. In fact I have never deep fried anything. Im such a klutz I would burn myself for sure. Love watching every Friday! 😊
In Texas we have chicken fried steak as a STAPLE!! Especially since I’m married to a Cowboy!! Ours is just salt and pepper and milk/buttermilk ad flour. ❤️❤️
We love the pioneer pepper gravy..we make sausage gravy with homemade biscuits, and hamburger gravy over toast with that mix..super easy dinner and breakfast
You are the most real and relatable person! 🤣🤣🤣 Even I can make a mess! 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe that means I can follow the recipes.
I use that gravy mix but I use half milk and half water instead of all water that it calls for.
Yes chicken fried steak is definitely a southern dish. Love your accent too Mandy.
Hi Mandy. I love chicken fried steak but I hate to fry things. I’ve bought the frozen ones from Sam’s and they’re good. That Pioneer pepper gravy is really good! I love it when you sing. Only you would think of turning a Kool and the Gang song into a little kitchen jingle 😂🤣
Thanks for sharing as always.🤗💕
I’m excited!!! Are you excited ??!!😂😂. I just adore y’all!!! I love me a good chicken fried steak!!!!!
My husband thinks Steven sounds like Tom Hanks. Lol! I bought a chopper after watching you a few times and love it. Hubby saw the cheese grater and thinks we might need one. I noticed you don't use pre shredded very often.
I had to come here and comment once i saw the pioneer gravy. Thats the one my family likes. I learned to make it from scratch but its just easier to make it from a packet sometimes.
I make the European cousin, Schnitzel. 🇨🇦🇭🇺
I have done chicken in the air fryer. Just coat tgem really good in a healthy oil such as grapeseed oil or avocado oil. It will turn out really nice and crispy. Love your recipes Mandy ❤
I’ve done some rearranging in my pantry/laundry room in order to use my AF. I’m excited for these videos ☺️
