     So tender I cut it with my fork. It really was close to how my mother and grandmother's liver 'n' onions tasted. The next time I cook it, I'll probably add a bit more salt and pepper.
    Thanks for the recipe! - 2/23/20

     cooking this was easy ,the process reduces the flavor of the liver making it milder. Although very good over all I will be going back to no gravy. - 11/25/18

     this was my first time making it. I was scared to death because mamma always made the best growing up. I was quite surprised how nice it was. it went well with a mushroom risotto. I haven't had it in years because i've been afraid to make it! - 1/1/13

     this was great. can't eat a lot of liver because of the cholesterol issue but I've loved liver since i was a kid (weird I know) and it's also budget friendly - 3/5/11
