My mother made these for us four girls. Money was tight and she couldn't afford steak very often. These use ground beef. I use a 80/20 lean to fat. You can use ground round but it tends to be a little too dry. This is great with mashed potatoes. Everyone I have ever made it for loved it. The first time my DH had it he never knew it was ground beef. He just commented on the tenderness of the steak!

I had been craving CFS and wondered if it could be done with ground beef as I didn't have any steak. I found this recipe and gave it a whirl although I made a few changes. I knew I'd want more seasoning, so I added additional seasoning salt and used Montreal Steak Seasoning instead of pepper in my flour. Also, I added one egg and a tablespoon or so of seasoned bread crumbs to the ground beef before shaping into patties. As for the gravy, I used seasoning salt and added a dash of garlic powder. Overall, it was okay, but I think next time I'll try using bread crumbs instead of flour for a crispier coating. Thanks for the recipe. UPDATE: Made this again...this time closer to the original recipe instructions...EXCEPT added garlic powder, and additional salt/pepper in my flour, then dipped in egg, then in PANKO bread crumbs. Staying truer to the original recipe was definitely the easier and better way to go.

i was so impressed with how this turned out. i love chicken fried steak. It was crazy how good the ground beef was. It tasted just like a normal chicken fried steak, but moister. The extra gravy is perfect for mashed potatoes. i did add meat tenderizer to the flour for extra flavor. Superb recipe! Thanks!!

I totally forgot to post this review! So sorry. This was really good. My dh is a CFS freak and he loved it! He ALWAYS orders CFS if it is anywhere on the menu! He said HE will make this again and again- took the leftovers for lunch the next day and he NEVER eats left overs! Thanks so much Jude for sharing this great recipe!
