Boy ..do I remember this as a child.. My Daddy worked nights on the drag line digging canals & my Mom & I would have this over toast & watch Alfred Hitchcock...,,I remember always sitting real close to her on the couch.. That was such good memories... Thank you Phyllis for sharing this.. Isn't it funny how foods can trigger childhood memories?,,, Have a good evening...
I remember doing that same thing with my mother. Loved sitting on the couch close and watching Alfred Hitchcock. I never liked that beef we used to have chicken on toast. Miss those days.❤
What a joy to be able to watch my dear sweet friend Phyllis again!! Took a break from social media things while having health issues! Feel like I'm way way behind. I love how Phyllis could always share older recipes from early 50's❤ This brings back such warm and happy times sitting around the kitchen table in our big white farm house in Indiana❤ Momma made this exact same supper fairly often, and we all loved it! I sure don't recall her soaking the dried beef in water though! Will try that, as I'm 72 this year, and my hubby 65; so we need to get as much salt out as we can👍🏻. Sure hope all is well with you & family Steven🙋♀️💞❤❤
Cooking my mothers meals makes me feel things I can’t describe with words. Watching you cook your mothers meal is so heartwarming. My mother was born in 1932. She went to high school in North Carolina. I see lots of familiar recipes on your channel. I’m alone now and find it hard to cook for one. I would love to see how you freeze your meals. I know you are dealing with health issues right now and you are on my mind everyday. In case you haven’t been told I want you to know that What you have created with your channel is so important and we are so lucky you have taken the time to teach us. Take good care of yourself because I still need you.
When I was in the Army we would have the creamed beef and gravey on toast or biscuits. It was called SOS, "Stuff" on a shingle. This dish went back to WW1.
Oh my goodness, it's so good to see & hear her. Truly miss her and her wonderful ways. A real woman. Glad she didn't have to stick around and be unhealthy and without her awesome hubby. Thanks for all you do for us. You too are brilliant. Love from Comfortville USA 🇺🇸 ❤️ 💕
My mother used to fix this"dried chip beef gravy" She would cut the beef slices up and fry it in the grease then brown the flour and pour in the whole milk. There was 4 of us girls and my dad and mom. She would use white bread to put the gravy on with fried potatoes and greens with vinegar. I always thought it was good.
That's similar to how my mom made it in the 50's, except she'd add diced onion and green pepper while frying the beef, added just a pinch of nutmeg to gravy. Always served over mashed potatoes. Can't recall the sides.
We tore it up too! However, we made the roux with equal parts butter and crisco, then added the flour until is was a medium brown. We never rinsed the meat but we tore it into little bits. We made heavily toasted bread and served it over the toast. Then, we had peas and carrots with a little butter and seasoned salt, a green salad with vinaigrette, and then we would have mock apple pie for dessert.
Enjoyed this video so much for many reasons. The 50's were amazing times. Familes sat down and had meals together. No TV in view or cell phones ringing. My mother made chipped beef on regular white bread toasted and buttered. She unrolled the thin slice of beef and with scissors cut the beef in strips. Then soaked it in water. After drying she sizzled it in butter. Made a white sauce using flour and whole milk in a boiler and added the cooked beef to it. We sure put it away in no time. It was common to have SOS on Saturday nights. Not many talked about consuming salt back then. We were too busy eating what we wanted and loved..so thankful to The Stokes for their giving ways . So much enjoyment ,
We had our SOS on toast. My Mom made it with butter and flour and whole milk and she used the Budding brand of beef slices that was for sandwiches. It was good. Thank you for sharing.
Yes we have no small children at our house most of the time. It's just adults. Sometime for glasses sometimes in the medicine cabinet to store things in.
My grandmother had some jelly jars that she saved for me and my cousin to drink our juice from when we would stay the weekends at her house. Well, the problem started between us because the jars had the "Archie" comic characters on it. But she only had 1 Veronica jar. My cousin and I fought over that one Veronica jar, so my grandmother had to go and buy another jar of jelly with Veronica on it so we wouldn't fight. LOLOLOL ohmygosh, that was over 40 years ago. :) grandma has long been gone on to heaven now.
I like that size jar,but with screw on lids,I use them to make my own flavored coffee, I read some where that the store bought flavored stuff is the roasted beans steeped in flavoring extract . I don't find many flavors of whole bean coffee (I like to grind mine fresh for each cup),so I put enough beans in a jar for 5 or 6 cups,add a couple capfulls of whatever extract,seal shake,and let it sit a couple days,comes out great ! I don't care for treat regular spam etc,too salty,but I do like the spam with bacon,to me less salty,and I like it sliced and fried,(I know ,salty and processed,but I don't eat it every day either) this video might explain why I loathed creamed chipped beef at home,but loved it in the Penn Dutch eateries,at home it was super salty(the way my father liked everything-he lived to his mid 90's,,so it doesn't seem to have harmed him badly)
My favorite recipe that came from my grandma (I don't know where or who she got it from, she was born in 1932), was what we call creamed tuna over toast. I still make it a lot for an easy quick dinner. It starts with a rue of butter and flour, about two tbps. of each, then a cup of milk. Then one can of tuna, sliced up hard boiled egg, and frozen peas. I have only ever seasoned with salt and pepper. It gets nice and thick and is super cheap and filling. I like it both over very crisp toast or over egg noodles. Lots of memories with that dish. Thanks for sharing your memories too, it's so fun to hear things like this.
Wow! I am from the UK...I just discovered your wonderful channel. My partner and I will be trying these recipes. They look so delicious. Thank you for making these videos. It's fascinating to see food from USA. Amazing.x
this has always been one of my absolute favorites. this is how my mom made it but i use fresh milk... I've never been a fan of condensed milk..my mom served it with peas but we tear the meat up so it goes further. we eat it over pilsbury canned biscuits ....i personally like it with eggs and fried potatoes for supper. the salt is used to dry the beef and to preserve it to last longer, but was meant to be washed as you mentioned. . the little jars were also juice glasses at our place. they had little stars around the edge. i liked em. this was a meal we had when my dad was "on the road." he was a salesman in the early sixties. we also would always have mom's home made macaroni and cheese, made with velveeta. these are things he did not really like so we had it as a treat while he was gone during the week.i sure enjoy your videos...its all food i remember fondly from my childhood....stuff my mom learned to make from her mother in the fifties. these meals endure the test of time and are so comforting. like a great big hug from gramma...
What a great memory, Phyllis! I'm a child of the late 50s; Momma used to call it "milk gravy" and made it all the time to serve over rice, noodles, etc., esp when she made fried pork chops in the electric skillet!
I love this series of videos about 1950's meals and I love reading all of the nostalgic comments about everyone's childhood. I grew up in the 70's, but I've always loved the 50's and 60's, I don't know why. It just seems like times were simpler and sweeter then. I love anything to do with those time periods and I am thoroughly enjoying watching your videos. Thank you!
Not sure how you ended up in my list of recommended videos but I'm so happy you did!! Watching your home cooking from the 50's is like a little visit back home. I'm going to spend the afternoon checking out your collection of videos. Keep them coming!
I agree with comments wanting more 1950s meals. It's fascination. I think if young people today got in the habit of cooking from scratch that they would abandon frozen fast food and processed stuff. It's gratifying to eat real food minus so many chemicals.
I've gotta share! My fiance and I are 28 and he grew up on a lot of processed food. My mom is first generation in the US, her parents were from Germany and immigrated here, so I'm used to a more European way of cooking and didn't have a lot of processed food growing up. I love cooking and baking and do most things from scratch. My fiance used to love canned beef stew and a few weeks ago I packed him some for lunch because we were low on groceries and he told me later it wasn't good and he must be getting used to homemade food! So proud.
Actually, this was highly processed. That is why she remembers the salt so much. Back in the 50's processed food was highly salted (that is what it means to be processed!) so that it would last for years. It was a way of preserving beef or other foods. I am surprised to see your comment and others who don't seem to realize this. Spam, "Treat", canned beef, meat sticks were all highly processed, which was necessary at the time in order to have protein in a time of need. I am not knocking it, just telling it like it was.
Let me clarify what I meant. I don't consider processed meat a really wise choice. Mrs. Stokes has hundreds of great videos. She cooks real food, and the 1950s Betty Crocker Cookbook from 1950 is a real gem of teaching, homemade recipes, and has hundreds of tips for expanding a recipe. It is similar to the way Phyllis cooks. That style of food from that era is what I was referring to. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Unfortunately, they just don't know what real food tastes like! I admit to being guilty of using cans of stuff and boxes of Hamburger Helper to feed my family. Once I started reading about how bad it was for me, I changed my ways. My daughter has small children and I told her she really needed to change to homemade food. She didn't believe me at first. When her husband (who is 29!) started having some health issues, she changed her cooking style and they both rave about how good their food tastes and rant when she uses the chemical-laced shortcuts! After a very short time you can really taste it! We rarely eat out anymore! I am loving Phyllis' recipes!
I find these videos so incredibly comforting. I love the pace and all the added details of personal memories about each dish's history. It's interesting to me to hear what someone remembers about their mother's/grandmother's/auntie's kitchen habits. We really do take in so much as children.
I just found your channel and I'm loving it. I was born in 68' so I was raised in the 70's and 80's. Mom always did home cooking, because we never ate out. Sunday's we'd go to my great-grandmother's for dinner. People need to get back to home cooking. I just wish that I could have learned how to cook from my grandmother, great memories. Thank you for sharing your recipes and have a great days.
Takes me back! I loved my mother's creamed chipped beef on toast. She served it with peas, too. Your biscuits look so good! Thanks for another wonderful video.
Thanks for passing your knowledge on. You are lovely to listen to and watch. It reminds me so much of my Mom and Grandma when I was young. It made me cry missing them.
I grew up in East Tennessee and now live in Western North Carolina. Your cooking reminds me so much of what my great grandmother would cook. I was blessed to learn to cook from three generations of southern women. I love your videos.
Hello! My mother’s name is Phyllis and she is the woman who taught me to cook, love people, and prosper as a smart and frugal person. Thank you very much for your videos! ♥️
I have been looking for a channel like this for so long!! I’m a 30 year old house wife from Nebraska and my husband is a meat and potatoes kinda man, I love this type of old school from scratch method!! Can’t wait to watch more videos and try these recipes!!!
I made this tonight with green beans and it was very good. Phyllis is really getting me through this pandemic. I can't afford much, and most of what I used to be able to afford is sold out now. But no matter what meager items I end up with after a grocery trip, it seems there's one of Phyllis' recipes waiting to save the day.
The can opener you used to open the Carnation looks similar to mine. If so, there should be another opener on the other end that would have opened the dried beef jar.
thankyou for some really nice family videos, watching the style of cooking is so relaxing it takes me back to my grannys kitchen , (me and my mom still do a lot of cooking together) 12/12/18 i made a ton of cookie dough and took to her s and dads an we are going to do holiday cookies...thanks again adam tuel
I grew up with having to take some of everything offered on the table. We called it a "no thank you helping" About 2 Tbls was the least you could get away with. I did same with my children and they with their children. One of my grandsons says to his friends now. Try it and after a few times you might like it, that's how I started liking broccoli! : -) My mama always added the peas to the creamed beef mixture.
Just by accident found you today and I love your beautiful videos, thank you for sharing the way you do . love hearing you say MaMa did it this way and just the way you show how to do things and the cooking is truly 1950's and '60s.
Boy does this meal bring back memories. My father loved creamed chipped beef and after my mother died, I would make it for him. Haven't made it since he passed many years ago. Thank you....have just come across your channel. Love the recipes!
I do love your posts Phyllis! I will be 69 end of June. I always love to add more good home cooking recipes and food information and you are my favorite source. À big NW Ohio hug to you and Mr. Bucky. 🌼 Carol 🌼
R-One Acre ; We have always used Budding also, or Land 'O Frost. I have 3pks of Buddings in the freezer, it's either comfort food for me, or when the weather turns foggy, or dark and stormy or icy, it's a good memory plus it's like being at peace with the surroundings. To my dad it was a treat also, so my mom cooked it with love.
I can't believe it's a year since you left us. But you made sure we could always come to you, even after you'd gone. Caring for us now, as always. Hug Mr Bucky for me please, Miss Phyllis and ask him to hug you back for me as well. I miss you both but I'm so glad you're together.
My family sliced the dried beef, fried it up a little first, then made the rue. Great video. I love how you emphasize they're your mother's recipes. Traditions are a beautiful thing. I'll keep watching.
Ah the days of sitting down for supper.....5pm, don't be late, supper never was! In your seat, you have to take a little bit of everything, make sure you eat all of your food, or you will sit there until it's gone..... I remember my brother's face would turn an odd shade of green at the sight of kidney beans in the chili. LOL
My dad loved this-but he was never in the service. Grew up on this and still love it-on toast or mashed/baked potato. Thanks. My mom rinsed the beef well too.
I was born in 1950 and remember every food item you mentioned! We ate all of those except for the dried beef. That one never made it to our table. I still have the roasting pan my mother made pot roast in for all 6 of us. It's very small and I often wonder how it fed us all but it did the job very well. She also made banana pudding in that same pan with meringue browned on top. We loved it! A lot of meals came from that small blue granite roaster. I love having it in my kitchen today. I also love these segments on meals, menus and recipes from the fifties! They bring back many foods I had forgotten about. I'm taking notes!!
My parents loved creamed chipped beef, but none of the kids like it, so Mum stopped making it. I made for my husband, who loved it too. I do love sausage gravy, and something kind of weird: creamed salmon. Use a can of salmon, make a roux with butter and flour, using the salmon liquid and enough milk to make a cup to make your cream sauce, add the salmon. Served on mashed potatoes it was great, and wonderful on biscuits. Most people say, “yuck!” when they hear about it, but love it after they try it. Always served with peas as well. I love these old-fashioned, simple, quick, and hearty meal ideas.
Your meals remind me so much of my grandmother who Raised me I miss her so very much... Iam 33 and wasn't around in the 50's but my grandmother had that style of cooking and I enjoyed eating it all so much.. I wish I could have another plate of grandma's food and watching your videos I can atleast see it!!! Love you xoxo thanks for all the great videos
My mom made this with ground beef and we called it SOS, she served it on toast. I love it! I love your 50s videos! I was a child in the 60s but my mom was older when I was born and she still cooked 50s food a lot!
Thank you so much Phyllis! I love these simple 1950s meals!!! Making this for my husband, and also going to make your jello desserts! excited! sending to much love so you! keep the videos coming!
Wow, i just subscribed and i love your videos. They are so satisfying and honestly your voice is so very soothing to hear. I am definately going to try your recipes, they look so delicious.
I always get the biggest smile when I come to RUclips and see you have uploaded a new video. This meal looks great! My Gram always made it and I liked it ... My Mom not so much .. so we never really had it much growing up. Just went I visited my Grand Parents and it was a day they were making it. But, hers was always served on toast. Good old S.O.S. LOL ;) I will definitely have to try this. I think your sister was on to something with the soaking. I don't remember it being all that salty back then. But, I haven't had it in years. Thanks for another great look back in time ♥
I just found your channel and it is so interesting. something I noticed living in calif. all my life we always called supper, dinner...these recipes make me hungry...thanks for showing how different things were back in the 50s 60s and I did grow up in those yrs......
Hi ya Phyllis! The memories u bring!!! I was raised by my grandmother, I’m now 57, I to ate this and the treet. We put ours over toast, I don’t recall it tasting salty, she must of soaked it out, me/brothers. Were not allowed n the kitchen, so I wasn’t taught how to cook. In the past I’d look for the beef but never found it, never knew it was n a jar, I know what I’ll be eating this week, I’ve put mayo on the lettuce when i did have dressing, thought I was the only one to do that. Thank u for family memories and these wonderful meals, ur a charm Phyllis! Thank u
I just found your channel and subscribed after watching this video. You are so sweet and I love hearing you talk about (and then actually prepare yourself) the meals your mama used to cook back during your childhood. My daddy was born in 1950 so I'm sure he's had some of these meals too (even though we're Italian American). I remember my pop-pop used to tell me when he was in the army (WWII) they ate this meal alot except it was served on toast. He told me they used to call it sh*t on the shingles. I never believed him but sure enough I looked it up and they did call it that! It looks good and makes me want to try it. I feel like it would give me a little piece of my pop-pop to remember. Thank you for all of these wonderful videos you make and I hope you will continue to make more! I am going to watch all of your videos now, starting from the very 1st one! God bless you Ms. Phyllis!
I remember this well my mom would cut the beef up into pieces to make it stretch farther and we had it over biscuits or toast usually canned corn and fruit I loved it. My older brother was in the Navy he had his own name for it SOS wouldn't eat it said he got enough of it aboard ship. That salad was out standard salad too nothing fancy as today's
I only just found your channel today and I am enjoying it. I've gotten into this complex meal rut and gotten to the point I don't even really want to cook. I plan to try quite a few of the meals you've showed. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more.
My grandma (back in the 80s) used to always serve the lettuce, tomato and mayo salad when I was little. I'm not a mayo fan, but always ate it because it was light. So finally I now know that this is where it comes from, the 50s! Very cool. Love your vintage recipes. :)
LOVED it when mom made this for supper !! Rarely had it, maybe a couple times a year. I think we had it over toast. Sometimes, maybe biscuits. Mom tore the beef up. No, not the healthiest, but still tasty I my opinion. :D Thanks for reminding me of this, Phyllis. Always enjoy finding that another one of your videos has been posted !!!
Phillis I love all your meals it takes me back to a simpler time what I like most is your portion size. Not to much it's just right. Today it's all about mountains of food on your 17 inch plates that's why I love watching your meals come together you make it easy to understand and to do. Thank you New subscriber
I have so many of the glasses we use constantly. I make chipped beef @ 1x month. I chopped beef pretty small and start with a medium white sauce and let the beef and sauce meld after 15 minutes or so. Use regular milk and TONS of pepper. Freshly ground. My grandkids can't believe my pepper usage. And we serve over toast. I always have a few of the dried beef in my pantry. I love it.
Susan Ryman Black pepper makes EVERYTHING better! When Ms. Phyllis said she was allergic, I about fell over!!! I cannot imagine things like this (and lots of other dishes!) without TONS of black pepper! Any white gravy dish for sure!!!! Oh and creamed lima beans with white sauce with bacon grease and so much black pepper! I make that as a dinner for myself a lot of times. Never as good as fresh ones from our garden growing up. I loved shelling limas more than anything. Can still smell the smell of the pods on my fingers!
Hey ms. phyllis..just thinking about this idea, maybe someday your sis can join you in the kitchen to make a 1950's full course meal that was your family's favorite. Just an idea.
I always think it's so funny that I'm 17 but I grew up on 50s food. I live with my mom and grandparents so growing up it was all 50s. Chip beef, tuna casserole (with a can of cream of mushroom soup) jello salad, you name it.
I haven't seen this recipe in many years. I remember it being chipped beef but same idea. Remember it at school lunch on toasted bread. Wow, a blast from the past. thanks
One of my favorites! We always rinsed the beef slices. Made a flour, butter and milk sauce, put in the beef, some salt & pepper. It was always on toast, and topped with a few slices of hard-boiled egg. Still make it now & then.
You make my favorite meals!! Like my mom, grandma and great grandma (a woman from the south during the Civil War, she was AMAZING!)!!! Can't wait to find you making Red eye gravy and drop biscuits!!
Such memories ! Never remembered the mayo salad dressimg mom made till memory clicked when i watched this video. I use the carl budding package of corn beef which i slice in thin strips..no need to rinse. I drop them in the gravy to heat up and serve over single serving of mashed potatoes. Finish out the meal with other foods. Very excited to of foumd you. Love your step by step processes and your calm voice so refreshing. Thanks for sharing your time and videos. God Bless.
I have never had this. For those that said they called it SOS, my mother made SOS with hamburger meat. To this day that's one of my most favorite things. Another of my most favorite things from childhood is that lettuce, tomato, and mayo salad. I'm going to search your videos on how to make it. I've never been able to make it taste like my mom's. Thank you once again for bringing us these memories and great food.
I love that you are cooking recipes that your mother made. Brings back so many memories. We called this either, chipped beef, or a more unacceptable S**t on a shingle. Definitely soak it. I soak a bit in warmish water, then in freezing cold water. My husband has to be very careful with salt and avoid it as much as possible. looking forward to more of your recipes.
My mother used something called buddig, a very thin sliced beef in the lunch meat section. She didn't make it very often. She served it over mashed potatoes. My mother served a simple canned fruit salad, made with a half canned peach or pear. Then she put cottage cheese in the middle. We would serve one green vegetable one starch and a protein. Sometimes the lettuce and tomato salad or the fruit cottage cheese salad was served. Then later Green Goddess salad dressing came out. I loved that stuff!!
I remember having a cassarole with chicken breast, cream of chicken soup, celery, onion and the dried beef was lining the bottom of the pan. And I still love that salad!
I remember this dish well. Tasty. Glad you soaked it in water which is what I would do now. I don't think my mother did then. As for the carnation milk in the can, we drank our hot tea with this milk. So lovely of you to share this 'heritage' dish with us.
Miss Phyllis I miss you and thank you for all the happiness and Joy you’ve brought to me and my family. I wish you were still here.
Boy ..do I remember this as a child.. My Daddy worked nights on the drag line digging canals & my Mom & I would have this over toast & watch Alfred Hitchcock...,,I remember always sitting real close to her on the couch.. That was such good memories... Thank you Phyllis for sharing this.. Isn't it funny how foods can trigger childhood memories?,,, Have a good evening...
I like your memories, Glenda.
I remember doing that same thing with my mother. Loved sitting on the couch close and watching Alfred Hitchcock. I never liked that beef we used to have chicken on toast. Miss those days.❤
What is the recipe called???
I miss her videos so much! Bless you for keeping her channel alive🙏🏾
What a joy to be able to watch my dear sweet friend Phyllis again!! Took a break from social media things while having health issues! Feel like I'm way way behind.
I love how Phyllis could always share older recipes from early 50's❤ This brings back such warm and happy times sitting around the kitchen table in our big white farm house in Indiana❤ Momma made this exact same supper fairly often, and we all loved it! I sure don't recall her soaking the dried beef in water though! Will try that, as I'm 72 this year, and my hubby 65; so we need to get as much salt out as we can👍🏻.
Sure hope all is well with you & family Steven🙋♀️💞❤❤
Cooking my mothers meals makes me feel things I can’t describe with words. Watching you cook your mothers meal is so heartwarming. My mother was born in 1932. She went to high school in North Carolina. I see lots of familiar recipes on your channel. I’m alone now and find it hard to cook for one. I would love to see how you freeze your meals.

Thank you for doing the 1950's recipes, I just love them. I'm 46, but really think I should have been born back then!! Please do more!!
Same here :-)
When I was in the Army we would have the creamed beef and gravey on toast or biscuits. It was called SOS, "Stuff" on a shingle. This dish went back to WW1.
Alison Siem me too! Haha. Comforting right?
I'm 47 and always wished I would've lived back then also!
Welcome to the club
I just love this Lady. I wish I could have met her.😊
Oh my goodness, it's so good to see & hear her. Truly miss her and her wonderful ways. A real woman. Glad she didn't have to stick around and be unhealthy and without her awesome hubby. Thanks for all you do for us. You too are brilliant. Love from Comfortville USA 🇺🇸 ❤️ 💕
My mother used to fix this"dried chip beef gravy" She would cut the beef slices up and fry it in the grease then brown the flour and pour in the whole milk. There was 4 of us girls and my dad and mom. She would use white bread to put the gravy on with fried potatoes and greens with vinegar. I always thought it was good.
Exactly how my mom made it! So good.
That's similar to how my mom made it in the 50's, except she'd add diced onion and green pepper while frying the beef, added just a pinch of nutmeg to gravy. Always served over mashed potatoes. Can't recall the sides.
We tore it up too! However, we made the roux with equal parts butter and crisco, then added the flour until is was a medium brown. We never rinsed the meat but we tore it into little bits. We made heavily toasted bread and served it over the toast. Then, we had peas and carrots with a little butter and seasoned salt, a green salad with vinaigrette, and then we would have mock apple pie for dessert.
I'm 27 and my grandmother would do the same!!
I've heard this dish called "SOS" by military families---Sh!t On a Shingle!
Enjoyed this video so much for many reasons. The 50's were amazing times. Familes sat down and had meals together. No TV in view or cell phones ringing. My mother made chipped beef on regular white bread toasted and buttered. She unrolled the thin slice of beef and with scissors cut the beef in strips. Then soaked it in water. After drying she sizzled it in butter. Made a white sauce using flour and whole milk in a boiler and added the cooked beef to it. We sure put it away in no time. It was common to have SOS on Saturday nights. Not many talked about consuming salt back then. We were too busy eating what we wanted and loved..so thankful to The Stokes for their giving ways . So much enjoyment ,
We had our SOS on toast. My Mom made it with butter and flour and whole milk and she used the Budding brand of beef slices that was for sandwiches. It was good. Thank you for sharing.
Still use the jars for juice, grandkids, bathroom and many other things. Love those little jars.
Yes we have no small children at our house most of the time. It's just adults. Sometime for glasses sometimes in the medicine cabinet to store things in.
made the same comment about the jars used for juice glasses !
My grandmother had some jelly jars that she saved for me and my cousin to drink our juice from when we would stay the weekends at her house. Well, the problem started between us because the jars had the "Archie" comic characters on it. But she only had 1 Veronica jar. My cousin and I fought over that one Veronica jar, so my grandmother had to go and buy another jar of jelly with Veronica on it so we wouldn't fight. LOLOLOL ohmygosh, that was over 40 years ago. :) grandma has long been gone on to heaven now.
I like that size jar,but with screw on lids,I use them to make my own flavored coffee, I read some where that the store bought flavored stuff is the roasted beans steeped in flavoring extract . I don't find many flavors of whole bean coffee (I like to grind mine fresh for each cup),so I put enough beans in a jar for 5 or 6 cups,add a couple capfulls of whatever extract,seal shake,and let it sit a couple days,comes out great !
I don't care for treat regular spam etc,too salty,but I do like the spam with bacon,to me less salty,and I like it
sliced and fried,(I know ,salty and processed,but I don't eat it every day either) this video might explain why I loathed creamed chipped beef at home,but loved it in the Penn Dutch eateries,at home it was super salty(the way my father liked everything-he lived to his mid 90's,,so it doesn't seem to have harmed him badly)
Welch's Grape Jelly came in little glass jars like that! We had the Archie ones and some other characters. Loved those glasses!
My favorite recipe that came from my grandma (I don't know where or who she got it from, she was born in 1932), was what we call creamed tuna over toast. I still make it a lot for an easy quick dinner. It starts with a rue of butter and flour, about two tbps. of each, then a cup of milk. Then one can of tuna, sliced up hard boiled egg, and frozen peas. I have only ever seasoned with salt and pepper. It gets nice and thick and is super cheap and filling. I like it both over very crisp toast or over egg noodles. Lots of memories with that dish. Thanks for sharing your memories too, it's so fun to hear things like this.
My mother would make the creamed tuna mixed with peas and serve it over potatoes. Talk about sticking to your ribs.
I just found your channel and I subbed.I was raised by my grandparents and I miss their cooking,everything homemade.
This meal was a blast from the past. My mom made chipped beef on toast. Wow, what great memories, thank you!!
Wow! I am from the UK...I just discovered your wonderful channel. My partner and I will be trying these recipes. They look so delicious. Thank you for making these videos. It's fascinating to see food from USA. Amazing.x
this has always been one of my absolute favorites. this is how my mom made it but i use fresh milk... I've never been a fan of condensed milk..my mom served it with peas but we tear the meat up so it goes further. we eat it over pilsbury canned biscuits ....i personally like it with eggs and fried potatoes for supper. the salt is used to dry the beef and to preserve it to last longer, but was meant to be washed as you mentioned.
. the little jars were also juice glasses at our place. they had little stars around the edge. i liked em. this was a meal we had when my dad was "on the road." he was a salesman in the early sixties. we also would always have mom's home made macaroni and cheese, made with velveeta. these are things he did not really like so we had it as a treat while he was gone during the week.i sure enjoy your videos...its all food i remember fondly from my childhood....stuff my mom learned to make from her mother in the fifties. these meals endure the test of time and are so comforting. like a great big hug from gramma...
I miss you Phyllis. I hope you are at peace and happy.
What a great memory, Phyllis! I'm a child of the late 50s; Momma used to call it "milk gravy" and made it all the time to serve over rice, noodles, etc., esp when she made fried pork chops in the electric skillet!
I love this series of videos about 1950's meals and I love reading all of the nostalgic comments about everyone's childhood. I grew up in the 70's, but I've always loved the 50's and 60's, I don't know why. It just seems like times were simpler and sweeter then. I love anything to do with those time periods and I am thoroughly enjoying watching your videos. Thank you!
Not sure how you ended up in my list of recommended videos but I'm so happy you did!! Watching your home cooking from the 50's is like a little visit back home. I'm going to spend the afternoon checking out your collection of videos. Keep them coming!
How I miss this great woman. I remember this dish from my childhood in th 50’s.
I agree with comments wanting more 1950s meals. It's fascination. I think if young people today got in the habit of cooking from scratch that they would abandon frozen fast food and processed stuff. It's gratifying to eat real food minus so many chemicals.
I've gotta share! My fiance and I are 28 and he grew up on a lot of processed food. My mom is first generation in the US, her parents were from Germany and immigrated here, so I'm used to a more European way of cooking and didn't have a lot of processed food growing up. I love cooking and baking and do most things from scratch. My fiance used to love canned beef stew and a few weeks ago I packed him some for lunch because we were low on groceries and he told me later it wasn't good and he must be getting used to homemade food! So proud.
Actually, this was highly processed. That is why she remembers the salt so much. Back in the 50's processed food was highly salted (that is what it means to be processed!) so that it would last for years. It was a way of preserving beef or other foods. I am surprised to see your comment and others who don't seem to realize this. Spam, "Treat", canned beef, meat sticks were all highly processed, which was necessary at the time in order to have protein in a time of need. I am not knocking it, just telling it like it was.
Let me clarify what I meant. I don't consider processed meat a really wise choice. Mrs. Stokes has hundreds of great videos. She cooks real food, and the 1950s Betty Crocker Cookbook from 1950 is a real gem of teaching, homemade recipes, and has hundreds of tips for expanding a recipe. It is similar to the way Phyllis cooks. That style of food from that era is what I was referring to. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Unfortunately, they just don't know what real food tastes like! I admit to being guilty of using cans of stuff and boxes of Hamburger Helper to feed my family. Once I started reading about how bad it was for me, I changed my ways. My daughter has small children and I told her she really needed to change to homemade food. She didn't believe me at first. When her husband (who is 29!) started having some health issues, she changed her cooking style and they both rave about how good their food tastes and rant when she uses the chemical-laced shortcuts! After a very short time you can really taste it! We rarely eat out anymore! I am loving Phyllis' recipes!

I find these videos so incredibly comforting. I love the pace and all the added details of personal memories about each dish's history. It's interesting to me to hear what someone remembers about their mother's/grandmother's/auntie's kitchen habits. We really do take in so much as children.
I'm 48, but love this series and the comforting way u talk about Momma and 50's style
I just found your channel and I'm loving it. I was born in 68' so I was raised in the 70's and 80's. Mom always did home cooking, because we never ate out. Sunday's we'd go to my great-grandmother's for dinner. People need to get back to home cooking. I just wish that I could have learned how to cook from my grandmother, great memories. Thank you for sharing your recipes and have a great days.
Takes me back! I loved my mother's creamed chipped beef on toast. She served it with peas, too. Your biscuits look so good! Thanks for another wonderful video.
Thanks for passing your knowledge on. You are lovely to listen to and watch. It reminds me so much of my Mom and Grandma when I was young. It made me cry missing them.
I grew up in East Tennessee and now live in Western North Carolina. Your cooking reminds me so much of what my great grandmother would cook. I was blessed to learn to cook from three generations of southern women. I love your videos.
Hello! My mother’s name is Phyllis and she is the woman who taught me to cook, love people, and prosper as a smart and frugal person. Thank you very much for your videos! ♥️
I have been looking for a channel like this for so long!! I’m a 30 year old house wife from Nebraska and my husband is a meat and potatoes kinda man, I love this type of old school from scratch method!! Can’t wait to watch more videos and try these recipes!!!
I made this tonight with green beans and it was very good. Phyllis is really getting me through this pandemic. I can't afford much, and most of what I used to be able to afford is sold out now. But no matter what meager items I end up with after a grocery trip, it seems there's one of Phyllis' recipes waiting to save the day.
The can opener you used to open the Carnation looks similar to mine. If so, there should be another opener on the other end that would have opened the dried beef jar.
thankyou for some really nice family videos, watching the style of cooking is so relaxing it takes me back to my grannys kitchen , (me and my mom still do a lot of cooking together) 12/12/18 i made a ton of cookie dough and took to her s and dads an we are going to do holiday cookies...thanks again adam tuel
I grew up with having to take some of everything offered on the table. We called it a "no thank you helping" About 2 Tbls was the least you could get away with. I did same with my children and they with their children. One of my grandsons says to his friends now. Try it and after a few times you might like it, that's how I started liking broccoli! : -)
My mama always added the peas to the creamed beef mixture.
Just by accident found you today and I love your beautiful videos, thank you for sharing the way you do . love hearing you say MaMa did it this way and just the way you show how to do things and the cooking is truly 1950's and '60s.
Boy does this meal bring back memories. My father loved creamed chipped beef and after my mother died, I would make it for him. Haven't made it since he passed many years ago. Thank you....have just come across your channel. Love the recipes!
We didn't have this growing up but I have made it over the years. I serve this over toast points. I use the PKGs. of Buddig beef..
much less salty.
I do love your posts Phyllis! I will be 69 end of June. I always love to add more good home cooking recipes and food information and you are my favorite source. À big NW Ohio hug to you and Mr. Bucky. 🌼 Carol 🌼
R-One Acre ; We have always used Budding also, or Land 'O Frost. I have 3pks of Buddings in the freezer, it's either comfort food for me, or when the weather turns foggy, or dark and stormy or icy, it's a good memory plus it's like being at peace with the surroundings. To my dad it was a treat also, so my mom cooked it with love.
I can't believe it's a year since you left us. But you made sure we could always come to you, even after you'd gone. Caring for us now, as always.
Hug Mr Bucky for me please, Miss Phyllis and ask him to hug you back for me as well. I miss you both but I'm so glad you're together.
My family sliced the dried beef, fried it up a little first, then made the rue. Great video. I love how you emphasize they're your mother's recipes. Traditions are a beautiful thing. I'll keep watching.
Ah the days of sitting down for supper.....5pm, don't be late, supper never was! In your seat, you have to take a little bit of everything, make sure you eat all of your food, or you will sit there until it's gone..... I remember my brother's face would turn an odd shade of green at the sight of kidney beans in the chili. LOL
My dad loved this-but he was never in the service. Grew up on this and still love it-on toast or mashed/baked potato. Thanks. My mom rinsed the beef well too.
eepanus star never thought about on baked potatoes!!! YUM!
I would love it if you would do a series on 50s meals too.
I was born in 1950 and remember every food item you mentioned! We ate all of those except for the dried beef. That one never made it to our table. I still have the roasting pan my mother made pot roast in for all 6 of us. It's very small and I often wonder how it fed us all but it did the job very well. She also made banana pudding in that same pan with meringue browned on top. We loved it! A lot of meals came from that small blue granite roaster. I love having it in my kitchen today. I also love these segments on meals, menus and recipes from the fifties! They bring back many foods I had forgotten about. I'm taking notes!!
My parents loved creamed chipped beef, but none of the kids like it, so Mum stopped making it. I made for my husband, who loved it too.
I do love sausage gravy, and something kind of weird: creamed salmon. Use a can of salmon, make a roux with butter and flour, using the salmon liquid and enough milk to make a cup to make your cream sauce, add the salmon. Served on mashed potatoes it was great, and wonderful on biscuits. Most people say, “yuck!” when they hear about it, but love it after they try it. Always served with peas as well. I love these old-fashioned, simple, quick, and hearty meal ideas.
i am so loving your '50s recipes !!
What a terrific series! I sure do like watching.
Your meals remind me so much of my grandmother who Raised me I miss her so very much... Iam 33 and wasn't around in the 50's but my grandmother had that style of cooking and I enjoyed eating it all so much.. I wish I could have another plate of grandma's food and watching your videos I can atleast see it!!! Love you xoxo thanks for all the great videos
My mom made this with ground beef and we called it SOS, she served it on toast. I love it! I love your 50s videos! I was a child in the 60s but my mom was older when I was born and she still cooked 50s food a lot!
Brings back fond memories of :good old days". Thank you Phillis.I enjoy your stories of the 50's.I was born in 1948.
We make this, I was born in the 60' s . I do remember my mom using the jar corn beef. So good :)
Thank you so much Phyllis! I love these simple 1950s meals!!! Making this for my husband, and also going to make your jello desserts! excited! sending to much love so you! keep the videos coming!
This brought back so many memories! I have not ate this since I was a young girl! I will have to make it for my husband!! Thanks so much!
Everything looks delicious!!
Thanks Phyllis. As always enjoyed watching you cook and your soothing presentation. My best to you and Mr Bucky.
Wow, i just subscribed and i love your videos. They are so satisfying and honestly your voice is so very soothing to hear. I am definately going to try your recipes, they look so delicious.
Miss you, Ms. Phyllis, you were special & you’d be so proud of your son carrying on your channel❤
I always get the biggest smile when I come to RUclips and see you have uploaded a new video. This meal looks great! My Gram always made it and I liked it ... My Mom not so much .. so we never really had it much growing up. Just went I visited my Grand Parents and it was a day they were making it. But, hers was always served on toast. Good old S.O.S. LOL ;) I will definitely have to try this. I think your sister was on to something with the soaking. I don't remember it being all that salty back then. But, I haven't had it in years. Thanks for another great look back in time ♥
Red Kittie Kat SOS?
candle ice Still don't know lol
Oh, now I gotcha! LOL that is too funny!
What a sweet video, a tribute to your mother! I like your kitchen.
I chop the meat up a little, then I use 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour, a cup+ of milk and throw the meat in. Serve it over toast.
This is fantastic. I love these videos because it got me excited about cooking again. Thank You.
My mom used to make dishes like this back in the day! meals were so simple back then.
I just found your channel and it is so interesting. something I noticed living in calif. all my life we always called supper, dinner...these recipes make me hungry...thanks for showing how different things were back in the 50s 60s and I did grow up in those yrs......
I'm 27 and my grandmother would make this for us for every weekend! Memories!
I love chipped beef gravy. We didn't have it often because we lived on a farm but when we did it was such a treat.
Hi ya Phyllis! The memories u bring!!! I was raised by my grandmother, I’m now 57, I to ate this and the treet. We put ours over toast, I don’t recall it tasting salty, she must of soaked it out, me/brothers. Were not allowed n the kitchen, so I wasn’t taught how to cook. In the past I’d look for the beef but never found it, never knew it was n a jar, I know what I’ll be eating this week, I’ve put mayo on the lettuce when i did have dressing, thought I was the only one to do that. Thank u for family memories and these wonderful meals, ur a charm Phyllis! Thank u
I just found your channel and subscribed after watching this video. You are so sweet and I love hearing you talk about (and then actually prepare yourself) the meals your mama used to cook back during your childhood. My daddy was born in 1950 so I'm sure he's had some of these meals too (even though we're Italian American). I remember my pop-pop used to tell me when he was in the army (WWII) they ate this meal alot except it was served on toast. He told me they used to call it sh*t on the shingles. I never believed him but sure enough I looked it up and they did call it that! It looks good and makes me want to try it. I feel like it would give me a little piece of my pop-pop to remember. Thank you for all of these wonderful videos you make and I hope you will continue to make more! I am going to watch all of your videos now, starting from the very 1st one! God bless you Ms. Phyllis!
I remember this well my mom would cut the beef up into pieces to make it stretch farther and we had it over biscuits or toast usually canned corn and fruit I loved it. My older brother was in the Navy he had his own name for it SOS wouldn't eat it said he got enough of it aboard ship. That salad was out standard salad too nothing fancy as today's
I only just found your channel today and I am enjoying it. I've gotten into this complex meal rut and gotten to the point I don't even really want to cook. I plan to try quite a few of the meals you've showed. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more.
My grandma (back in the 80s) used to always serve the lettuce, tomato and mayo salad when I was little. I'm not a mayo fan, but always ate it because it was light. So finally I now know that this is where it comes from, the 50s! Very cool. Love your vintage recipes. :)
just found your channel, and I'm enjoying it so much! brings back found memories of growing up thanks.
Loved this lady....miss her. Dried Beef was special ....we usually use ground beef...those were the best times.
LOVED it when mom made this for supper !! Rarely had it, maybe a couple times a year. I think we had it over toast. Sometimes, maybe biscuits. Mom tore the beef up. No, not the healthiest, but still tasty I my opinion. :D Thanks for reminding me of this, Phyllis. Always enjoy finding that another one of your videos has been posted !!!
Phillis I love all your meals it takes me back to a simpler time what I like most is your portion size. Not to much it's just right. Today it's all about mountains of food on your 17 inch plates that's why I love watching your meals come together you make it easy to understand and to do. Thank you New subscriber
I have so many of the glasses we use constantly. I make chipped beef @ 1x month. I chopped beef pretty small and start with a medium white sauce and let the beef and sauce meld after 15 minutes or so. Use regular milk and TONS of pepper. Freshly ground. My grandkids can't believe my pepper usage. And we serve over toast. I always have a few of the dried beef in my pantry. I love it.
Susan Ryman Black pepper makes EVERYTHING better! When Ms. Phyllis said she was allergic, I about fell over!!! I cannot imagine things like this (and lots of other dishes!) without TONS of black pepper! Any white gravy dish for sure!!!!
Oh and creamed lima beans with white sauce with bacon grease and so much black pepper! I make that as a dinner for myself a lot of times. Never as good as fresh ones from our garden growing up. I loved shelling limas more than anything. Can still smell the smell of the pods on my fingers!
Hey ms. phyllis..just thinking about this idea, maybe someday your sis can join you in the kitchen to make a 1950's full course meal that was your family's favorite. Just an idea.
my grandma used to make this for my grandpa. Thanks for the memory!
My grandmother made a beef dish like Phylis's mom did. The boilied potatoes and pea's were so good. I enjoyed watching.
I always think it's so funny that I'm 17 but I grew up on 50s food. I live with my mom and grandparents so growing up it was all 50s. Chip beef, tuna casserole (with a can of cream of mushroom soup) jello salad, you name it.
I haven't seen this recipe in many years. I remember it being chipped beef but same idea. Remember it at school lunch on toasted bread. Wow, a blast from the past. thanks
I am addicted to your videos!!! I love them!
I was introduced to this dish when I was 16 years old. I had moved from Iowa to Virginia and I have been making it ever since
One of my favorites! We always rinsed the beef slices. Made a flour, butter and milk sauce, put in the beef, some salt & pepper. It was always on toast, and topped with a few slices of hard-boiled egg. Still make it now & then.
You make my favorite meals!! Like my mom, grandma and great grandma (a woman from the south during the Civil War, she was AMAZING!)!!! Can't wait to find you making Red eye gravy and drop biscuits!!
You're great!!! A humble and simple approach I love it
My Mother made this too....amazing that yours did also! Just love, love your videos!
Such memories ! Never remembered the mayo salad dressimg mom made till memory clicked when i watched this video.
I use the carl budding package of corn beef which i slice in thin strips..no need to rinse. I drop them in the gravy to heat up and serve over single serving of mashed potatoes. Finish out the meal with other foods.
Very excited to of foumd you. Love your step by step processes and your calm voice so refreshing. Thanks for sharing your time and videos. God Bless.
This came in a ''cooking bag'' 1960's 70's (boil the frozen bag for a-bit) open & pour over toast...yum! a chicken flavour too!
Stouffers has a frozen one-it is good.
Their creamed spinach is good, too. Kind of weird finding out you like stuff that sounded so yucky when you were a kid!
Don Hawkins I remember those boil and serve bags.. good stuff
Penny Eshelman -YES I remember a chicken a la king we ate on toast
Freezer Queen pouches! I wish they still sold them.
I have never had this. For those that said they called it SOS, my mother made SOS with hamburger meat. To this day that's one of my most favorite things. Another of my most favorite things from childhood is that lettuce, tomato, and mayo salad. I'm going to search your videos on how to make it. I've never been able to make it taste like my mom's. Thank you once again for bringing us these memories and great food.
Love the old recipes! Looking forward to more of them! :)
I love that you are cooking recipes that your mother made. Brings back so many memories. We called this either, chipped beef, or a more unacceptable S**t on a shingle. Definitely soak it. I soak a bit in warmish water, then in freezing cold water. My husband has to be very careful with salt and avoid it as much as possible. looking forward to more of your recipes.
My mother used something called buddig, a very thin sliced beef in the lunch meat section. She didn't make it very often. She served it over mashed potatoes. My mother served a simple canned fruit salad, made with a half canned peach or pear. Then she put cottage cheese in the middle. We would serve one green vegetable one starch and a protein. Sometimes the lettuce and tomato salad or the fruit cottage cheese salad was served. Then later Green Goddess salad dressing came out. I loved that stuff!!
love this meal, my mother and grandmother made it as I did and my daughter does, yummy, we would cut the dried beef in to ribbons
I remember having a cassarole with chicken breast, cream of chicken soup, celery, onion and the dried beef was lining the bottom of the pan. And I still love that salad!
I haven't had this in years! Thank you for sharing.
That brought back memories! Thanks for sharing.
Best cooking channel. Thank you from Texas
I remember this dish well. Tasty. Glad you soaked it in water which is what I would do now. I don't think my mother did then. As for the carnation milk in the can, we drank our hot tea with this milk. So lovely of you to share this 'heritage' dish with us.
I remember my mom cutting the chipped beef into narrow strips and adding it to the sauce. :o)
Oh my gosh. I haven't had that in so many years.
stouffers makes a great creamed chip beef in frozen section..at home we had it over toast with peas
