I'm still around

The last few days I was laid off from my IT sales job...

 

I've been doing delivery via postmates and favor, coupled with dog walking on Wag to get some coins in the house. Best wishes to everyone at this time!

Fellow Texans gotta stick together, nut up and fight through this.

Shit on a Shingle Recipe

 

Shit on a Shingle made with creamed, chipped beef is a classic American military dish. This recipe makes enough for one person for lunch or a light supper; you can easily multiply this recipe as needed. We've tried to make it just a bit healthier than normal by lightening up the white sauce.

Ingredients

• 10 slices Chipped Beef about 50 g / 2 oz
  
• 2 teaspoons Butter
  
• 2 teaspoons Flour
  
• 1/3 cup Milk skim
  
• Ground Pepper
  
• 2 slices Bread
  

Instructions

• Chop up the chipped beef roughly, set aside.
  
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat along with a few dashes of ground pepper (optional: a dash of ground nutmeg, a pinch of onion powder or a tablespoon of minced onion, a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, a squirt of mustard.) Don't let the butter brown. As soon as it's just all melted, add the flour, and whisk it in. Let cook for a minute, then whisk in half the milk.As soon as it's absorbed, whisk in the remainder of the milk, then stir in the chipped beef, and set the heat to low.
  
• Pop the bread in the toaster. When it's toasted, arrange the two slices of toast and spoon the beef mixture on top of both.
  
• Serve piping hot.
  
• If you're serving for lunch or dinner, add some side veg for a complete meal.
  

Notes

You can use white or brown bread. If you aren't counting calories, regular milk is fine -- we just tried to make the dish a bit lower in calories. 1/3 cup is about 3 oz or 75 ml. Feel free to use a bit more to make the sauce runnier if you like. Feel free to adjust and play with seasoning; most people seem to feel it's salty enough from the beef without adding more salt.

Wonderful clip Ben! Saw Follies many years ago at the Kennedy Center in DC.

Sorry but the peas ruined it for me. My mom always put hard boiled eggs in SOS and a dash of Worcestershire sauce.

Damn! I hadn’t thought about SOS since I left the army more than a half century ago. ?

That Stouffers is my go to if not making it from scratch.

 

A Lenten version from my childhood was a can of tuna and Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom heated together over toast.

Peas were one of the three vegetables I ate as a child with the other two being (canned) green beans and mashed potatoes (yes I know potatoes are a starch). My palate as an adult has expanded slightly to broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers-oh and if it's in a stew or vegetable soup, I'll eat almost any veggie. Peas are still in my top two-although I prefer the canned very young sweet peas to the frozen.
