Wanted SOS over home fries last night so I ran over to Publix to get some of the Stouffers frozen. Naturally, they did not have any so I settled for this instead.

Fried up some extra sausage to doctor up the canned stuff.

While it was warming up I made the hash browns

John, John, John................although that meal looks mighty tasty, [smilie=a_doh.gif] you have created the ultimate sin by using canned gravy!! That's as bad as Woodman using roux out of a jar!
 
I agree with Larry.....but in a pinch, the can will do. :D Doesn't look like the 'shingle' made it on the plate..... :LOL:

Almost as bad as those packets :LOL: But is does look good.
 
Yep. knew I would catch crap about the canned gravy. Wife is away for a couple of days and I just do not have the "touch" with gravy. I figured the canned stuff had to be at least as good as mine and a lot easier. Surprise, surprise, with the added sausage and over homefries with onions it was pretty damn good.

Chipped beef w/gravy on toast in the Marines. I hear that the less empowered branches of the military used ground beef :roll: ;) :LOL:

Like Dat's said. The sh*t was the chipped beef and gravy and the shingle was the toast. That's what my dad told me (he was a marine)

thanks..guess Ill go google chipped beef...lol

I get the kind Hormell makes. It comes in a kinda black package in with the packed deli meats (oscar meyer, etc) at the grocery store. Some people use that Carl Buddig sh*t beef, it's not the same.

It's like wafered dried beef. Good stuff, just make your gravy, cut up the beef in squares, throw in gravy and then top on toasted bread, I like to use grands biscuits, MMMMM MMMMM :P
 
I saw a lot of recipes for creamed beef when I googled chipped beef..

Chipped Beef

1910 Manual for Army Cooks
Recipe no. 251

Yield: 60 men
Portion: not given

Fat, butter preferred
Flour, browned in fat 1 lb
1-1/4 lb ---
---
Evaporated milk, 12 oz can
Parsley
Pepper ---
---

1 bunch

Beef stock --- 6 qt

Method:

Melt the fat in the pan, and add the flour; when it has been cooked a few minutes, add the milk, dissolved in the beef stock, or water. Stir the batter in slowly to prevent lumping, and then add the beef. Cook a few minutes, add the parsley, and serve on toast.

Notes:

If the beef is very salty, it should be scalded before cooking.
