FOOD FOR HARD TIMES
Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast
AKA, SOS (Stuff On A Shingle)

Cream chipped beef on toast was a Great Depression food staple. Mama Mable fixed it all the time when we were kids and we just loved it. It’s an easy recipe and there are only four ingredients which were available to most people in the depression. Flour, milk, butter, and some dried beef. This was also known as stuff on my shingle. Or, something similar to that. You’re going a love this recipe. I promise!

2 packages of chipped beef
¼ Tsp. nutmeg
½ teaspoon white pepper
