My family has a friend (Dave) in Canada who loves this dish. They serve it with brown gravy and cheese curds. I have adapted this dish to suit our southern tastes by using biscuit gravy and cheddar crumbles. 1 package steak fries 1 recipe biscuit gravy cheddar cheese crumbles Bake fries according to package directions. When fries are nearly done, make biscuit gravy. Make individual servings by putting fries on a plate, smother with gravy and sprinkle with cheese crumbles. Yum! ~Marsha...

Nothing screams southern like biscuits and gravy. If you add a sliced fresh tomato, hot coffee, scrambled eggs and bacon, you’ve got yourself a down-home breakfast! Ingredients: 1/4 cup shortening 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground pepper 5 Tablespoons self-rising flour 2 cups milk Directions: In a skillet (I use a cast iron skillet) melt shortening. Sprinkle in flour salt and pepper and stir with a wire whisk to prevent lumps. Cook over medium high heat until slightly browned. Pour in milk and reduce heat to medium. Stir constantly until gravy has thickened. Pour into a bowl and serve immediately. Keep in mind that gravy will thicken slightly as it sits. ~Marsha...
