My Mom used to say, you can’t sit on the fence about liver, you either like it or you don’t. In our household, everyone loved it! Generally red pepper flavors better than black pepper for liver dishes.

Notes
You may soak the liver slices in milk for about 20 minutes to help remove some of the taste of the liver if desired. Do this before proceeding with the recipe. You can also use the pan drippings to make a gravy. Place almost cooked slices and the onions back in the pan, cover and simmer together for about 15 minutes. Serve over rice or with a side of mashed potatoes.
