SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS RECIPE! I'm surprised to learn this is a southern dish as it's a common dish served in local Hawaiian restaurants (served over white short grain rice). This is my favorite dish to order so it makes me even more excited that it came out SO GOOD ("SO ONO" in Hawaii)! It's on par with some of the best I've tasted! I made it for family dinner and everyone loved it. They were surprised I made everything from scratch, even the gravy, and said that it tasted better than the ones they've had in restaurants. I'm giving it 4 stars because I did take the advice of the other reviewers and don't think it would have been as good had I not. I almost doubled the gravy recipe (I ran out of beef broth - 1 can makes approx 1.5 cups) and I think it was just perfect! I also added a touch of milk to thicken, cooked the onions in the drippings separately AFTER the hamburger was moved to a plate and added mushrooms to the onions. Even though I used 3/4 of a medium onion, and 1/2 of a basket of sliced fresh mushrooms - I feel I could have added even more. I added about 1/4 tsp salt since others described it as a little bland. It came out PERFECT and I will definitely add this to my regular rotation. This was easy to make even though the ingredients list looked long and possibly complicated. It really isn't! Don't get intimidated by that - try it! Thank you Mrs. Trader!

I only had 4 jumbo eggs but I still had great results. I put a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the batch. It made 2 loaves and 10 muffins. My family ate all but 2 muffins on the way to the event. At the event, the first loaf was gone just as soon as I put it out. I went to go cut the other loaf and couldn't find it. Turns out the hostess hid the other loaf since she wanted it for herself! She laughed and told me, "don't you cut that one -- I'm keeping it!" Needless to say, it was a big hit. Thanks for the recipe.

We really enjoyed this recipe the night I made it which we ate with some home made corny corn bread and rice. However, the following day it seemed REALLY salty for some reason. Not sure what happened, but if any one has any ideas please let me know....could it have been from the polska sausage I used?
