Steps:
- Melt ButterWhen making this recipe I do like using an electric skillet. Set skillet temperature at 200 degrees Fahrenheit and melt butter.
- Add OnionsSlice onions 1/4 inch thick and place onions on top of butter.
- Add LiverRemove liver from packaging and place sliced livers on top of onions.
- SeasonSeason with salt and pepper. I kinda go heavy with the pepper (see photo below). Increase skillet temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cover skillet. Cook liver and onions for about 7 minutes.
- Cook/SimmerRemove skillet lid and turn livers over and season with salt and pepper. Return lid and turn temperature down to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and continue cooking for about 30 minutes.
- GravyI make the gravy in 2 batches (I don't know why, I just do). Place 1 cup milk with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour in a large glass and whisk to combine until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet.Make another batch of milk and flour whisking together until smooth and add to the skillet.At this time I slide the livers and onions to one side of the pan while stirring the gravy in the skillet and then slide them back over.If the gravy is too thick feel free to add more milk to get the consistency desired. Turn heat down and simmer. During this time make your side dishes like the mashed potatoes and spinach.
- Serve & Enjoy!

LIVER & ONIONS WITH GRAVY
When we were first married my husband didn't care for Liver & Onions, his mom, bless her heart, cooked it to death and it was like shoe leather. Needless to say he found that liver if it was just a little pink was tender and tasty. Another convert to Liver & Onions.

Steps:
- Gently rinse liver slices under cold water, and place in a medium bowl. Pour in enough milk to cover. Let stand while preparing onions. (I like to soak up to an hour or two - whatever you have time for.) This step is SO important in taking the bitter taste of the liver out.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Separate onion rings, and saute them in butter until soft. Remove onions, and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and put it in a shallow dish or on a plate. Drain milk from liver, and coat slices in the flour mixture.
- When the butter has melted, turn the heat up to medium-high, and place the coated liver slices in the pan. Cook until nice and brown on the bottom. Turn, and cook on the other side until browned. Add onions, and reduce heat to medium. Cook a bit longer to taste. Our family prefers the liver to just barely retain a pinkness on the inside when you cut to check. Enjoy!
