Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 ½ pounds meaty frog legs
1 cup milk
1 eggs, lightly beaten, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground thyme
¼ teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, diced
5 large mushrooms, diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon granules
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse frog legs and pat dry. Separate the legs at the joint if desired. Set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup milk, half of the beaten egg (about 1 tablespoon), garlic powder, and onion powder. Place the frog legs into the mixture, cover and refrigerate for about one hour, stirring occasionally.
  • In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup flour, bread crumbs, cornmeal, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, cayenne, paprika, oregano, thyme, cumin and parsley. Mix well and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet or electric skillet set to medium heat. For an electric skillet, set to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Dip each frog leg portion into the flour and spice mixture, packing on as much of the dry mixture as you can. Place the coated frog legs into the pan so they are close but not touching. Cook for about 15 minutes, until browned and crispy, turning often to prevent burning. Take care, they will become more fragile as they cook. Remove from pan, and place on paper towels to drain.
  • Add the chopped onion and mushrooms to the skillet, and sprinkle them with chicken bouillon. Cook, stirring frequently until onions and vegetables are soft. Sprinkle the last 2 tablespoons of flour into the skillet, and stir to blend in. Cook, stirring constantly until the flour is browned. Mix together the remaining 1 cup milk, evaporated milk, and the other half of the beaten egg. Gradually mix into the skillet. Whisk or stir constantly until the gravy is thick and bubbly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the frog legs, and serve them smothered with gravy.

HAMBURGER STEAK WITH CREAMY ONION GRAVY



Hamburger Steak with Creamy Onion Gravy image

Tried this with my family and they really liked it.

Provided by Debbie Gurley

Categories     Burgers

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lb ground chuck
3/4 c chopped onion
1 egg
1 Tbsp salt and pepper
1/3 c of all purpose flour, for dipping the patties in
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 large onion
1 c beef broth
1 c water
1/4 tsp of seasoned salt
1/4 c of all purpose flour, for the gravy
2 c sliced mushrooms, optional
1 tsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil over medium high in a large heavy-bottomed stainless skillet.
  • 2. In a medium sized bowl, combine the ground chuck, chopped onion, egg, seasoned salt, garlic powder and pepper.
  • 3. Shape into 4 to 6 equal sized patties. Dip each patty into the flour and cook until browned on both sides; remove and set those aside.
  • 4. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly caramelized, stirring regularly. Add Mushrooms if so desired. Whisk together the beef broth and water with 1/4 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoned salt and pepper to taste until well combined. Pour into the skillet with the onions and stir constantly, until mixture begins to thicken.
  • 5. Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, turn to coat, add sliced mushrooms if using, and reduce heat to simmer. Cook, covered, for about 20 minutes longer. Serve with mashed potatoes and some green beans, or a mixed garden salad on the side.
  • 6. Cook's Notes: The brown gravy for these is pretty good all on its own since its reliant on the pan drippings, but if you have it, just a splash of Kitchen Bouquet adds a bit more depth and is delicious. If you find that you need a binder, add in some fresh bread crumbs to the ground beef. If using pre-made hamburger steak patties, omit the onion, egg and hot sauce, and sprinkle both sides of the patties with the seasoned salt, garlic powder and pepper, pressing in the seasoning a bit. Then dip each patty in the flour and proceed with the remaining recipe.

CREAMY ONION GRAVY

This creamy onion gravy gets its sour tang from buttermilk. Use with mashed potatoes, or as we had them when I was a child, German dumplings. Leftover cooking water from potatoes is best, but regular water will do.
