My Mama made this with dried beef that came in a glass jar. We always saved the jar for juice glasses. After I left home, I learned how to make it with ground beef. Even at today's prices, I make it with ground beef but I use a lot less meat and add bouillon to give it flavor. Once in a while, I add onion powder to change it up. Thank you for sharing this wonderful memory! Have a blessed weekend! ✌️💖🙏🙌🇺🇲
My mama also used the beef that came in the little glass jars but it seems like she soaked it with water for a while before cooking with it. I might be getting it mixed up with something else though because my memory is not what it used to be.
Oh yeah, we used jars as glasses when I was growing up and my kids drank out of jelly jars. Alex was talking today about how she remember that the jars when she was a kid had characters on them and her favorite one had Snow White on it lol ❤️
Here in Carolina, you still can buy dried beef in jars. Yes, I grew up drinking out them jars and the jelly jars. We had coffee cups that came out of the clothes washing powders.
I make this often, I make a large skillet since I have a large family. My family likes a lot of meat 2 sticks of butter 1 small jar dried beef(it’s salty but adds flavor) 4 packs of BUDDIG SLICED BEEF (Walmart lunch meat section) 2 cans of evaporated milk 3 heaping tablespoons of flour Add butter and chopped and sliced beef Sauté the beef in the butter so the butter will have the beef flavor Add flour Stir until flour absorbs the beefy flavored butter, take your time, let the beef flavor get into the flour Add Evaporated milk Stir until it makes a thick gravy Add 2 cans of water(refill the evaporated milk cans with water Stir until thickens Serve over toast If it gets too thick just add more water My kids and their friends love it
I whole heartedly agree with you saying we need to get back to our grandmothers ways. Life was purer, family mattered, and we were closer to God. Thanks for recipe, I was raised on the frozen chipped beef, so I'm going to try this. God bless 🙌 🙏 😊
She was born 1916 on a farm in NW Texas, and my mama would feed us five kids this dish for supper about once a month, and let me tell you, we thought we were rich. So good! I live in the conservative Central Valley of California now and it’s hard to find dried chipped beef at the market. Very sad because I miss this dish and the warm fuzzies it reminds me of. RIP Mama (1916-1993).
Look for it in a little jar on the shelf unrefrigerated where other canned meats are. I've also found it in a little plastic bag in the refrigerated section were other sandwich meats are. It's better to me from the jar, but the other will do. Good luck! Cat
@@catherinemcneill7045 Yes, I used to buy it in a plastic bag (Buddig brand) with other refrigerated lunch meats. My hub actually went to the grocery today (he really wanted me to make this dish), talked to a young guy at the meat/butcher department and described it. The butcher had no idea…had never heard of it (but everyone waiting for help knew exactly what hub was asking for, lol). The butcher told us the same thing you suggested; canned meat aisle. In fact, he followed hub and helped him find it!!…Hub said, “there it was, sitting on the shelf in a little jar, lookin’ so pretty”. Thank you so much! 😊
I just bought Buddig thin sliced beef on sale last week at my store for 39 cents. I keep it in the freezer until I use it. I’m 73, and I learned to make this from my mom.
@@joyful_tanya Mama used too. Had to rinse, very salty. She diced the thin jarred. Good stuff. Not so much money made better cooks. That gravy we make is the sauce to the French Cook. I can cook any thing a famous chef can cook. Unh huh
I remember folks complaining about this when I was in the Army. I’d been eating it all my life and couldn’t understand what they were upset about. It’s one of my favorite breakfasts.
My mother was born in 1921. And as I grew up she always when she made a pork chop she made milk gravy we had over a slice of bread. I am 62 years old. I love your channel. god bless you for the teachings you give.
My dad was in the Army for 20 years and used to make this for us when I was a kid in the 60’s. I loved it and am so happy you shared this recipe! After my father retired from the military, he felt the Lord calling him into the ministry. He was a pastor for 40 years. He used to say he was a soldier in two armies. Miss you, Dad. Thank you for leading me to the Lord!
This takes back; my mother made when I was growing up. With home made biscuits. Mmmm. Just like mama made. Love the memory. Food hard times after WWII / best Southern cuisine of world. Praise God ♥️✝️🇺🇸
I was raised down in the foothills of Ozarks in Arkansas-i remember mama abd aunts snd uncles would cook dinner and they all left food set out on the table - covered with a old clean tablecloth till supper time
I remember my Father (B. 1922) describing how the old folks would cook Sunday dinner and then leave all the leftovers out on the table, with the tablecloth covering, for a cold informal Sunday supper.
👍👍👍👍 Dear sweet Becky, my mother made this for us when we were small children as she had gone through the times you talked about and we were still in part of the lack of availability so i know full well how it is. Thanks for bringing back that memory and as always " On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand, All Other Ground Is Sinking Sand, All Other Ground Is Sinking Sand " Bless you and your family Becky for touching so many lives. ❤--------Michigan
My dad's way of making this dish was quite a bit different. I crumble the chipped beef into a pan of melted butter, stir it until it is hot, add a tablespoon of flour, and stir until the beef is fully coated with the butter and flour mixture. I continue stirring until the flour is fully cooked like a roux, then I add milk and stir until it thickens. I add more milk a little at a time until it is the way I like it. This way the gravy takes on the flavor of the beef more effectively. We are lucky enough to have a local meat market that makes their own dried beef. It is a very superior type to what you can buy in the grocery store. They chip it if you order it a little ahead of time, and it keeps in the fridge for ages. Sorry I don't have an actual recipe for you. I am 84 and one of those "seat of your pants" people who does a lot of my cooking by experience and observation.
I was raised in the military by a dill Sargent dad. If I had a dollar for every time I've eat this in my life I'd never had to work. They made it with ground beef ALOT back then too.
I love chipped beef on toast (SOS)! And the addition of Worcestershire sauce makes all the difference in the world for this recipe! (in my opinion) I have everything to make this, so, I think I'll be making this for dinner tonight!
I live in Pennsylvania, & I still buy the frozen creamed chipped beef at the local store. Stouffer's makes it, & it's pretty good. I especially like it because it's just me, so I can pop that in the microwave, throw some bread in the toaster, & ta-da... dinner! So if your local store sells Stouffer's frozen foods, check that section to see if they have it if you're like me & don't want to cook for only one person. 😊
Hi Becky!!! We ate this when our children were little. Bet I havent had in many years. Oh...now Im hungry for this recipe. Im going to buy some Chipped Beef tomorrow. YUMS!!! Looks super delish!!!...Great Video!!!...🦋
This recipe brought back a lot of memories. In my home we called it "Dried Beef Gravy." Our "Family Recipe" had two slight differences. 1.) We used cooking oil instead of butter to make the rue. 2.) Since dried beef is very, very salty, after we deiced the beef into cubes, we'd place the deiced beef into a pot filled with several cups of water. We'd bring the beef and water concoction to a boil and then turn off the heat source and let the beef steep in the hot water for a few minutes while all the other ingredients were being gathered. The beef would then be removed from the water and set aside to be added to the gravy when appropriate. One to two cups of the water would also be retained to be mixed with the cold milk which would be added to the browned rue to thicken the gravy. These recipe variations will decrease the amount of salt in your final product, and give the final product a more beefy flavor as a result of using the broth created by the boiling of the beef. Thanks for your efforts on this channel!! You are an inspiration!!.
Love it! I grew up on this dish. We had it for breakfast every now and again. It was always called Chipped Beef Gravy not SOS. SOS was always made with ground beef. Thank you for sharing!
Stouffers still has in frozen section. First thing I cooked out of my Betty Crocker boys & girls cookbook because my Mom was in hospital long time as my brothers & I love it & needed to self teach to cook.
Ok I’m in my seventies and love this made with hamburger! And yes for breakfast with sausage and homemade biscuits! But we didn’t call breakfast mixture ( sorry but yes for 7+ years it’s sos) You are adorable and you are a Christian inspiration even though I’ve been a Christian many years! ❤❤❤. Thank you for all you do for us! And I so often think if you and Brent heading down the highway on that beautiful black harley!
My Daddy was in WW2, could it be that’s why we ate this so often? Momma was a master of this dish. We always had this during warm weather, because we always had cantaloupe with it. To this day the taste of cantaloupe evokes the flavor of bacon grease in chipped beef and gravy. And, sister, you are touching my heart because Momma would always sing hymns and tell me about the Lord while she was cooking. Thank God I absorbed that while I was learning to cook from her. In boot camp I would elbow my way past the other men for meat in white gravy and nobody understood why.
I still enjoy 'chipped beef and gravy'. Have since my Navy "S.O.S." days during Vietnam. If we were being served roast beef for super, we ALL knew what being served for Midrat sandwiches later and the next morning's breakfast too. Today, I use Buddig over toasted English muffins or biscuits instead of bread. Sometimes over a toasted bagel.
This is solid comfort food in my book. While growing up, we had this for dinner about once a month. Mama always made it with diced boiled eggs in addition to the dried beef. Now i do too. I actually made this for my 88 year-old mama for dinner earlier this week. ❤
Although I was born and raised in California, my entire family is from Appalachian Kentucky - so I grew up in a hillbilly household in LA. That's why I enjoy your RUclips channel and recipes so much. My dad was in the Navy in WWII, so me and my brothers ate a lot of SOS growing up. This is comfort food for me!
Im from the UK. When I was younger we didnt have much money. My mum used to do mash potatoes on toast. I know it sounds wierd but it was really tasty especially when the buttered toast touched the mashed potato. She also used to give me fruit & cream with some bread & butter on the side. I love watching your videos. Thank you for showing us cooking on a budget❤🙏
Mom made this back in the 60s for 5 kids. She would use cubed veal from the butcher that she cut into smaller pieces. She added peas to hers. It was less than 68 cents for the veal. That was a lot compared to other things, but she splurged a couple times a year. She would brown the meat then make the gravy from the dredge of the meat. That was all of our favorite meal.
My mother took her canned / jarred beef and rinsed it in water to take away the saltiness before adding to the gravy. Great memories of mom making this dish for our family of eight.
Thanks for your channel. Lost my wife 2 years ago and she was the cook in the house. My cooking skills were for 40 guys as house manager after cook quit. My first chile after graduating college filled a 5 gallon pot. So scaling down to one or 2 portions has been a challenge. Your channel gives me Ideas and size portions. Thanks, Ron
I loved this so much as a kid it was one of the first things I learned to cook as a teenager. Took me forever to get it thick, though probably used too much milk. Anyhoo, 20 years later and I was at an inlaws for breakfast. She turned out some milk gravy in like just a few minutes 🤯. By then I was cooking for a household of 7, so yeah lots of milk even though I did the 2 Tbls per cup it just wouldn't turn out for me. However I found out her secret was using evaporated milk. Made my life much easier.
I was born in '63 and, even though I was raised in a small town, I saw turmoil each night on the 6 o'clock news. I grew up in a world where I honored my elders. I valued their knowledge and strived to learn all I could from their life experience. As I grew older, I witnessed more and more people and groups in society begin to shun their elders, calling them obsolete and out of touch. I never felt or believed that way. I clung to and craved every lesson I learned from my parents and grandparents. Sadly, today this distructive movement has become an onslaught. Our traditional beliefs and Christian values are under constant attack. And the current state of our country clearly illustrates it. There's no more hiding it or escaping it. You are exactly right! Our grandmothers knew the answer. And you and I do, because of them. And YES! Our country needs to return to it's founding beliefs, values, principles, and traditions... before it's too late.
Well MY mama never made this for me and I'm 64yrs old, probably because we lived in Southern Florida...maybe because she was born and raised there. But your words about this gravy sauce have captivated me. That is a great connection! I love making my own sausage gravy mix over biscuits, little side of grits and eggs can never go wrong. Anyone can make chipped beef if they want, internet if full of it. But that sauce/gravy is to die for. I'd add more pepper just because I cut out using salt for flavor. Pepper vs Salt = better. Edit, I've had this one time.
I grew up eating Creamed Chip Beef!!! We ate it on toast or biscuits!!!! I Love it!!! I havent had it in 50 years!!! I'm going to have to look for the dehydrated Chip Beef!!! God Bless Us All!!!
This was one meal my father made. We knew it as SOS, and he usually made it with ground beef because chipped beef was too expensive for a family of seven. I used to make it both ways when I had my own family. Now I'm craving this. Thank you for sharing.
My dad learned how to make this from a Marine Corps cook and made it home for us. It was delicious. He'd also add minced onion to the butter. Thank you for dredging up that memory for me!
I grew up eating this, I'm over 8o. I just forgot about it, I haven't eaten it learn about 30 years. I'm picking me up a jar next trip to the grocery store. Thank you for bringing it back it really was good.
I never knew it by it's proper name, my mom and step dad always called it by "the other name". Even if we went to a restaurant that served it, my step dad would call it "SOS" when ordering and they never questioned what it was. I may have to try it for memory sake. Thank you for sharing!
My mom made this for us in the 1950's. She also would make the same white sauce recipe and put chopped boiled eggs in it. Both were served over toast and so delicious. This brings back such great memories of watching my mama cook for her 4 children.
My Mom made this with jarred dried beef and evaporated milk. She would add peas to the gravy and meat. I have used her recipe for years and my family has always loved it.
Chipped beef gravy is always a favorite. My grandmother always loved it and it's been passed down through the generations. SOS is a favorite or mashed potatoes or rice. Took me a few attempts to get it right. I learned from watching but didn't know the recipe
My parents were paid once a month. When growing up the end of the month recipes were always my fav. Chipped beef on toast. Navy beans soup. My dad's goulash. Thank you!
I wasn't in the Navy. But I was in the Army. Ues we called it something else. BUT This was my favorite part of breakfast. I'd have ham n chz with mushroom omlette hashbrowns with creamed beef over everything. To this day I could eat it 2 or 3 times a week. Maybe more. Thanks for the idea to make an old favorite.
My mom often made this for my dad’s breakfast..I didn’t much like it….but this sure brought back memories for me! ❤ Thanks for explaining when it became popular. My dad was in WW2, but my mom learned how to make it from his mother.
Thank you for this recipe. I made this during a heavy rainstorm tonight. It was delicious. It is so good over homemade biscuits. I let the biscuits bake while I made the gravy. My family loved it.
As a 16 year old bride many years ago, this is one of the first things I learned to cook as my husband requested. It’s a great way to learn the fine art of making gravy😋…but thanks for the tip on cooking the flour first❤️👵
I loved this as a kid, and still do. I just saw some in the frozen section at Kroger, and thought about getting some dried beef in the jar for my pantry. I think I’ll pick up some up to keep on hand to make it.
Omg Dad use to make this all the time. Was trying to remember the recipe!!! So glad I was scrolling though your videos. Thank you so much for posting these videos.
This is one of my all time favorite meals. It started when I was a kid and yes, i bought it in the boil in the bag. You can still find it but just not as good and so I started making it myself. Delicious. I use butter and flour. Yum Yum. And I'm proud to say my 40 year old daughter makes it as well. Thank you!
The military use to use salted beef. It can still be bought from Armor and it is very salty. You had to soak it water and squeeze it dry. Salted beef did not require refrigeration and thus gave the sailors and soldiers meat in the menu. My mother was a military wife and made this at home, but with a twist to make it filling supper time meal. Use ground beef instead of beef. Make gravy as in the video or use a country gravy mix. Make mashed potatoes (instant is just fine), Can of peas heated. You toast the bread and "butter" it with a nice layer of mashed potatoes. Cover with SOS gravy. Sprinkle it with a spoon of peas and dig in.
I love chipped beef on toast! My mom used to put a tablespoon of black coffee in hers to give it that extra zing...Lol! I've even made it with the Buddig meats (beef, chicken and turkey) and added a pinch of garlic...yum! Loved hearing the phrase "dogwood winter". My late brother-in-law was from Kentucky and I heard his voice when said that. Thanks for that fond memory. God bless!
My mother made this on a regular basis when I was a child, and I had forgotten about it and how good it is. I'm buying chipped beef and light bread at the store on Monday!

My Mama made this with dried beef that came in a glass jar.
We always saved the jar for juice glasses.
After I left home, I learned how to make it with ground beef.
Even at today's prices, I make it with ground beef but I use a lot less meat and add bouillon to give it flavor.
Once in a while, I add onion powder to change it up.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful memory!

I make this often, I make a large skillet since I have a large family.
My family likes a lot of meat
2 sticks of butter
1 small jar dried beef(it’s salty but adds flavor)
4 packs of BUDDIG SLICED BEEF (Walmart lunch meat section)
2 cans of evaporated milk
3 heaping tablespoons of flour
Add butter and chopped and sliced beef
Sauté the beef in the butter so the butter will have the beef flavor
Add flour
Stir until flour absorbs the beefy flavored butter, take your time, let the beef flavor get into the flour
Add
Evaporated milk
Stir until it makes a thick gravy
Add
2 cans of water(refill the evaporated milk cans with water
Stir until thickens
Serve over toast
If it gets too thick just add more water
My kids and their friends love it

I use chopped up left over beef roast, or turkey as a substitute. We like cranberry sauce served with ours. Double it for two people.
Ground beef works well too. Needs to be salt and peppered though because its not naturally salty like dried beef is.

We'd bring the beef and water concoction to a boil and then turn off the heat source and let the beef steep in the hot water for a few minutes while all the other ingredients were being gathered.
The beef would then be removed from the water and set aside to be added to the gravy when appropriate.
One to two cups of the water would also be retained to be mixed with the cold milk which would be added to the browned rue to thicken the gravy.
These recipe variations will decrease the amount of salt in your final product, and give the final product a more beefy flavor as a result of using the broth created by the boiling of the beef.

Stouffers still has in frozen section. First thing I cooked out of my Betty Crocker boys & girls cookbook because my Mom was in hospital long time as my brothers & I love it & needed to self teach to cook.
Ok I’m in my seventies and love this made with hamburger! And yes for breakfast with sausage and homemade biscuits!
But we didn’t call breakfast mixture ( sorry but yes for 7+ years it’s sos)
You are adorable and you are a Christian inspiration even though I’ve been a Christian many years!
❤❤❤. Thank you for all you do for us! And I so often think if you and Brent heading down the highway on that beautiful black harley!
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. God bless you❤
My Daddy was in WW2, could it be that’s why we ate this so often? Momma was a master of this dish. We always had this during warm weather, because we always had cantaloupe with it. To this day the taste of cantaloupe evokes the flavor of bacon grease in chipped beef and gravy. And, sister, you are touching my heart because Momma would always sing hymns and tell me about the Lord while she was cooking. Thank God I absorbed that while I was learning to cook from her. In boot camp I would elbow my way past the other men for meat in white gravy and nobody understood why.
We grew up eating this fabulous recipe.
I still enjoy 'chipped beef and gravy'. Have since my Navy "S.O.S." days during Vietnam. If we were being served roast beef for super, we ALL knew what being served for Midrat sandwiches later and the next morning's breakfast too. Today, I use Buddig over toasted English muffins or biscuits instead of bread. Sometimes over a toasted bagel.
Trust in the Lord, always.❤
Amen
This is solid comfort food in my book. While growing up, we had this for dinner about once a month. Mama always made it with diced boiled eggs in addition to the dried beef. Now i do too. I actually made this for my 88 year-old mama for dinner earlier this week. ❤
One of my favs still after all these years. ❤️👏🏼
Although I was born and raised in California, my entire family is from Appalachian Kentucky - so I grew up in a hillbilly household in LA. That's why I enjoy your RUclips channel and recipes so much.
My dad was in the Navy in WWII, so me and my brothers ate a lot of SOS growing up. This is comfort food for me!
I too had this as a weekly staple growing up; it was one of my favorites.
Im from the UK. When I was younger we didnt have much money. My mum used to do mash potatoes on toast. I know it sounds wierd but it was really tasty especially when the buttered toast touched the mashed potato. She also used to give me fruit & cream with some bread & butter on the side. I love watching your videos. Thank you for showing us cooking on a budget❤🙏
Mom made this back in the 60s for 5 kids. She would use cubed veal from the butcher that she cut into smaller pieces. She added peas to hers. It was less than 68 cents for the veal. That was a lot compared to other things, but she splurged a couple times a year. She would brown the meat then make the gravy from the dredge of the meat. That was all of our favorite meal.
My mother took her canned / jarred beef and rinsed it in water to take away the saltiness before adding to the gravy. Great memories of mom making this dish for our family of eight.
Thanks for your channel. Lost my wife 2 years ago and she was the cook in the house. My cooking skills were for 40 guys as house manager after cook quit. My first chile after graduating college filled a 5 gallon pot. So scaling down to one or 2 portions has been a challenge.
Your channel gives me Ideas and size portions.
Thanks, Ron
I loved this so much as a kid it was one of the first things I learned to cook as a teenager. Took me forever to get it thick, though probably used too much milk. Anyhoo, 20 years later and I was at an inlaws for breakfast. She turned out some milk gravy in like just a few minutes 🤯. By then I was cooking for a household of 7, so yeah lots of milk even though I did the 2 Tbls per cup it just wouldn't turn out for me. However I found out her secret was using evaporated milk. Made my life much easier.
Thank you so much for sharing your memory with us 🙂 and God bless you❤️
I was born in '63 and, even though I was raised in a small town, I saw turmoil each night on the 6 o'clock news.
I grew up in a world where I honored my elders. I valued their knowledge and strived to learn all I could from their life experience.
As I grew older, I witnessed more and more people and groups in society begin to shun their elders, calling them obsolete and out of touch.
I never felt or believed that way. I clung to and craved every lesson I learned from my parents and grandparents.
Sadly, today this distructive movement has become an onslaught. Our traditional beliefs and Christian values are under constant attack. And the current state of our country clearly illustrates it.
There's no more hiding it or escaping it.
You are exactly right!
Our grandmothers knew the answer. And you and I do, because of them.
And YES!
Our country needs to return to it's founding beliefs, values, principles, and traditions... before it's too late.
Well MY mama never made this for me and I'm 64yrs old, probably because we lived in Southern Florida...maybe because she was born and raised there. But your words about this gravy sauce have captivated me. That is a great connection! I love making my own sausage gravy mix over biscuits, little side of grits and eggs can never go wrong. Anyone can make chipped beef if they want, internet if full of it. But that sauce/gravy is to die for. I'd add more pepper just because I cut out using salt for flavor. Pepper vs Salt = better. Edit, I've had this one time.
I grew up eating Creamed Chip Beef!!! We ate it on toast or biscuits!!!! I Love it!!! I havent had it in 50 years!!! I'm going to have to look for the dehydrated Chip Beef!!! God Bless Us All!!!
God bless you 🙂❤️
It’s called “Budding” Beef. Walmart sells it. It is not salty at all. Inexpensive, even now.
My grandma called it dry beef gravy.. she was from Indiana.. I love it.
This was one meal my father made. We knew it as SOS, and he usually made it with ground beef because chipped beef was too expensive for a family of seven. I used to make it both ways when I had my own family. Now I'm craving this. Thank you for sharing.
My dad learned how to make this from a Marine Corps cook and made it home for us. It was delicious. He'd also add minced onion to the butter. Thank you for dredging up that memory for me!
Thank you so much for sharing that memory with us. God bless you ❤️
My mom who was from Kentucky always added peas to it. Us kids loved it.
One of my favorite meals growing up!
Thank you for watching and God bless you❤️
Our grandma and grandpa raised 8 of us kids. Grandma used to make bologna gravy and hot dog gravy, and it was really good! I am 73 and still make it!
I grew up eating this, I'm over 8o.
I just forgot about it, I haven't eaten it learn about 30 years. I'm picking me up a jar next trip to the grocery store.
Thank you for bringing it back it really was good.
My mom used to make this when I was little. I loved it!
Thank you for watching and God bless you❤️
The cream chipped beef in a pouch. Is still around. I love those pouches.
Yes ma'am we really do need to get back to the ways our grandmothers cooked and closer to God the way they used to be
I never knew it by it's proper name, my mom and step dad always called it by "the other name". Even if we went to a restaurant that served it, my step dad would call it "SOS" when ordering and they never questioned what it was. I may have to try it for memory sake. Thank you for sharing!
My mom made this for us in the 1950's. She also would make the same white sauce recipe and put chopped boiled eggs in it. Both were served over toast and so delicious. This brings back such great memories of watching my mama cook for her 4 children.
It totally changes this meal adding sliced mushrooms. I love it! love it! love it!
That does sound good. Thank you for sharing with us and God bless you❤️
On hot toast and butter is great!!
My Mom made this with jarred dried beef and evaporated milk. She would add peas to the gravy and meat. I have used her recipe for years and my family has always loved it.
my Mom used to make this all the time as well as the salted cod in the little wooden box...my dad was Navy for 20 yrs during the 1960s,lol
I add peas to mine. It was something my grandmother did and now I do it😊
That does sound good. Thank you for sharing with us and God bless you❤️
I lived on this while I was in Air Force basic training in the early 80’s. Still love it to this day. Thanks for making this Becky!
My favorite dish as a kid. Haven't had it decades. Time to go back in time. Yum.
Chipped beef gravy is always a favorite. My grandmother always loved it and it's been passed down through the generations. SOS is a favorite or mashed potatoes or rice. Took me a few attempts to get it right. I learned from watching but didn't know the recipe
Thanks for joining us and sharing your memory with us.🙂 God bless you ❤
My parents were paid once a month. When growing up the end of the month recipes were always my fav. Chipped beef on toast. Navy beans soup. My dad's goulash. Thank you!
I wasn't in the Navy. But I was in the Army. Ues we called it something else. BUT This was my favorite part of breakfast. I'd have ham n chz with mushroom omlette hashbrowns with creamed beef over everything. To this day I could eat it 2 or 3 times a week. Maybe more. Thanks for the idea to make an old favorite.
My dad was Navy so we ate it a lot; there were 5 of us kids so made an economical meal.
My mom often made this for my dad’s breakfast..I didn’t much like it….but this sure brought back memories for me! ❤ Thanks for explaining when it became popular. My dad was in WW2, but my mom learned how to make it from his mother.
God bless all here.❤❤❤❤
My daddy was in the navy and we could buy canned chipped beef in gravy years ago, and I loved it.
Yes! Marines differently called it "something else"!!!
Thank you for this recipe. I made this during a heavy rainstorm tonight. It was delicious. It is so good over homemade biscuits. I let the biscuits bake while I made the gravy. My family loved it.
That looks delicious. Chipped Beef on Toast was always a big favorite here in Alabama.
As a 16 year old bride many years ago, this is one of the first things I learned to cook as my husband requested. It’s a great way to learn the fine art of making gravy😋…but thanks for the tip on cooking the flour first❤️👵
My Mom who was from Texas, use one can of Cream of Mushroom soup. Comfort food, love it on toast.
We used to eat this in school all the time in the sixties
My 90 year old mother never liked this, but my grandmothers made it. I love it and made some this week.
Exactly the way my great grandmother made it in the 1970’s. I still make it.
I loved this as a kid, and still do. I just saw some in the frozen section at Kroger, and thought about getting some dried beef in the jar for my pantry. I think I’ll pick up some up to keep on hand to make it.
My mom used to make this dish. I remember eating this as a kid. I liked it !
I make it at least twice a week for my husband. He loves cream beef He loves it over toast or bagels.
Omg Dad use to make this all the time. Was trying to remember the recipe!!! So glad I was scrolling though your videos. Thank you so much for posting these videos.
Congratulations on your pregnancy !!!!! Sorry, we haven’t been on in a while due to illness. Love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is one of my all time favorite meals. It started when I was a kid and yes, i bought it in the boil in the bag. You can still find it but just not as good and so I started making it myself. Delicious. I use butter and flour. Yum Yum. And I'm proud to say my 40 year old daughter makes it as well. Thank you!
We always had our chipped beef gravy on toast and sometimes, as a special treat, my mom would serve it over mashed potatoes. God bless.
Used to eat this with the Budding beef & it’s DELICIOUS! Thanks for bringing this back to my present day! God love you!
No worries about using a fork. My wife and I have been using forks for gravy in our cast iron for over 30 years. My parents and grandparents as well.
My mom made this often, served on toast, when I was a kid. It wasn't bad...although not the healthiest meal!
I had this so much as a kid, I cannot eat it now, but thank you for the Word.
The military use to use salted beef. It can still be bought from Armor and it is very salty. You had to soak it water and squeeze it dry. Salted beef did not require refrigeration and thus gave the sailors and soldiers meat in the menu. My mother was a military wife and made this at home, but with a twist to make it filling supper time meal. Use ground beef instead of beef. Make gravy as in the video or use a country gravy mix. Make mashed potatoes (instant is just fine), Can of peas heated. You toast the bread and "butter" it with a nice layer of mashed potatoes. Cover with SOS gravy. Sprinkle it with a spoon of peas and dig in.
I love chipped beef on toast! My mom used to put a tablespoon of black coffee in hers to give it that extra zing...Lol! I've even made it with the Buddig meats (beef, chicken and turkey) and added a pinch of garlic...yum! Loved hearing the phrase "dogwood winter". My late brother-in-law was from Kentucky and I heard his voice when said that. Thanks for that fond memory. God bless!
I use Buddig's beef as well; SavALot also sells their brand for even less.
I use the Buddig beef. The real chipped beef in a jar is way too expensive now.
Thank you and yes God is always first!! I love any gravy but chipped beef is my favorite!! God bless you and keep the recipes coming ❤❤
My mother made this on a regular basis when I was a child, and I had forgotten about it and how good it is. I'm buying chipped beef and light bread at the store on Monday!
