Creamed chipped beef......or as we called it.....sh*t on a shingle.
I was thinking of that too. haha. I know that came from that era!!
We still have what is called chipped beef on toast around the kids. The Army version wasn’t near as good.
My mother made that from time to time. She also made the ground beef and onion version of it.
Ah the old SOS - from the War days. Believe it or not, we still have it on occasion - on toast. When I was small we used to have what my mom called weiner gravy. Not exactly sure what the meat was since we lived on a farm but it was something round that had been sliced and was the color of a weiner. Brown it and then use the drippings to make gravy. We also had a lot of milk toast for breakfast because we had cows. Hot milk loaded with home churned butter and served in a bowl with chunks of toasted bread.
An old Army favorite, when I was in the Army we had that at least once a week for breakfast. One of my Aunts had a recipe from the depression days, it was spaghetti, but instead of a regular pasta sauce she would put in a 2 lb block of chili(they used to sell chili in blocks, very similar in looks to a 2 pound block of orange grease)and hamburger. She called it goulash, I have no idea what the real name of it was, but it was tasty and filling and you wouldn't get skinny on it, that's for sure.
Creamed chipped beef! I loved this as a kid. My great grandfather was a butcher and shaved the meat ultra thin.
Honestly though, I don’t know what chipped beef is. The stuff people make with ground meat is just nasty!
