As I told her - Cheddar is an actual place so it's a "proper" noun and thus capitalised. As to the commas - it's second nature to my editor
gene - and it costs nothing to be grammatically correct.

I was a newspaper proofreader and this sign was in our office:

===
"I love eating my family and my dog." "I love eating, my family, and my dog."

Commas save lives.

(I am an Oxford comma fan.)

'nother one of the recipe "commonplaces" that bug the snot out of me is the
use of "cubed" when meaning "diced" or "in cubes".

To mr cubed signifies mechanically tenderised. As in "cubed steak"

Title: Texas Chicken Fried Steak
Categories: Beef, Dairy
Yield: 4 servings

4 (6 oz ea) beef cubed steaks;
- 1/4" thick
1/4 c Worcestershire sauce
1 c Flour
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Black pepper
3/4 c Buttermilk
1/2 c Vegetable oil
1 1/4 c Milk
1/4 c Chicken broth

In a large resealable bag, marinate cube steaks in
Worcestershire sauce 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Place flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Pour
buttermilk into another shallow dish.

Dip steaks in flour mixture, coating completely, then in
buttermilk and again in flour. Reserve remaining flour
mixture.

In a large deep skillet - over medium-high heat, heat oil
until hot but not smoking. Add steaks and cook 3 to 4
minutes per side, or until cooked through and coating is
golden. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter and cover
to keep warm.

To make the gravy, add 1/3 cup of remaining flour
mixture to skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until flour
is browned, stirring constantly. Whisk in milk and
broth, stirring until thickened. Serve gravy over steak.
