No cube steak? No problem. This version of chicken fried steak is made with ground beef patties that are coated with a cracker crumb crust before frying.

1 pound ground beef
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 cups finely crushed saltine crackers, divided
1/2 cup oil, for frying
Combine the ground beef, parsley, chili powder, salt, egg and half of the cracker crumbs in a bowl. Mix until combined.
Form the meat mixture into patties.
Place the remaining cracker crumbs in a shallow dish. Press both sides of the beef patties into the crumb mixture, coating them thoroughly. Place the coated beef on a wax paper lined plate or tray and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken fried steak and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the skillet and serve hot with your favorite gravy.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
