Small Kitchen Stories: Baked Veal Steak "Granny-Style"

Pulling out of the oven fragrant Lemon Squares; I wanted to make further good use of the oven energy. I was way too tired for anything complicated. I wanted a Sunday Dinner thrown back to the 1950's!

That did it! The Veal Steak that was to be simmered was now to be baked.

This is a Two Way Recipe: The second day, boil up Egg Noodles and top with the leftover gravy, meat, and vegetable bits with a swirl-in dollop of ricotta cheese.

Our favorite Giant, Route 1, provides the ingredients.
