Don't let the name fool you! "Shit on a Shingle" (SOS) is a comforting and budget-friendly meal that's been satisfying hungry folks for generations. This isn't about, well, *that*. Think creamy, savory chipped beef gravy served over toasted bread. It's pure comfort food.
This classic recipe uses simple ingredients you likely already have: dried chipped beef, butter, flour, milk, and pepper. The key is to create a smooth, lump-free gravy. Start by melting butter in a pan, then whisk in flour to form a roux. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Finally, stir in the chipped beef and season with pepper. Simmer gently to let the flavors meld.
Serve hot over your favorite toast (the "shingle"). Want to jazz it up? Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce or a sprinkle of paprika. SOS is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend brunch. Give it a try – you might be surprised at how delicious this unexpectedly named dish can be!
