Liver mush is another delicacy of southern cooking. Great with eggs at breakfast or on a sandwich or just with some wheel cheese on crackers. I learned to prepare this in HUGE quantities and Iv'e tried to pare the recipe down for posting here. Read more When prepping, rememeber the loaf should be more meat than cereal, so hold back on the grits if necessary. Also, if you are not into fried foods, the liver can be boiled before grinding.

I was just in search of a good Mush Recipe.
I'm originally an Ohioan and grew up eating Mush with Sausage Gravy over the top.
I defiantly will try this recipe out.:)
Thanks for posting this.:)
