    Incredible!
    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!

    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

    I have not had liver in YEARS, but was given some my a cousin who recently butchered a cow. I was SO glad to see someone had a recipe here, because I forgot how my mom used to cook it. This is JUST how she did it! - 1/24/10
