My dad served in the Air Force. He taught us a version using ground beef instead - and sanitized the name into “Slop on a Shingle”. It’s actually pretty good. I’ve also seen it with green beans, but I suspect that’s due to housewives making due with what’s available.
He did a more recent episode on biscuits and gravy and what the miners ate in the Wild West, though I think evaporated* milk is part of the recipe. Edit: Originally wrote condensed milk but that was wrong, whoops. Thanks @HBHaga
We had this growing up but my mom, who would never use the "S" word, called it creamed chipped beef on toast. I don't remember what fat she used but I would guess Crisco because most people used that in the 1960's. We certainly didn't use lard and olive oil only rarely.

Yeah, when recipes like these call for 'fat' you can't go too far wrong with either butter or lard.

Tasting history is always fantastic!
I actually bought Max Miller’s cook book and it’s fascinating. I don’t even cook much but it’s really quite good.
Oh, more tasting history. Nice.

Evaporated milk, actually. Condensed milk is typically sweetened and very thick. Good for fudge.
@@HBHaga whoops, you’re right. Thanks for the correction
@@quixoticraven4242 No problem!
Max is a year younger than I am.
I am 42.

My grandpa used to make a version of it becausr he couldnt find chipped beef. He'd use ground beef
