I used four thin pork loin chops, so I ended up halving the flour to coat the chops, but went ahead and made the full amount of the drizzle. I also didn't have any cornstarch, so I used 2 TB of flour in the water. Because the chops I had were thin, I first browned them in the skillet, which cooked them through and set them aside. In the same skillet, I made the sauce, but ended up only using about a tablespoon of the flour/water mixture - otherwise, I was worried that the the sauce would end up too thick or too lumpy. After cooking the sauce, I put the chops back in to heat them up a bit and coat them in the sauce. The chops came out OK, but the only thing that made them tasty was the sweetness of the sauce. Not sure if having thicker chops in the oven works better somehow, but this method was alright.

This was the first time I made crepes before and they turned out really good! I halved the recipe and it still worked out well and got good practice at flipping the crepes over in the air!

I only needed to make enough for two people, but saw that others said that there wasn't enough sauce/gravy, so here's what I did: I only used 1 lb of beef, 2 small potatoes, 2 carrots and 1 stalk of celery. However, I kept the same amount of everything else that the recipe mentions except I doubled the amount of paprika, garlic, Worchester and used a whole can of beef broth (around 2.5 cups). End result? Plenty of sauce and pretty tasty. My husband really liked it, but I thought it could have used a little more spices - hence the 4 stars. I didn't bother to brown the meat either - just threw everything in the crock pot and let it go for 11 hours. This was super-easy and pretty good!
