At High School my favorite winter meal was " Mince on a Bread Roll " from the Tuck Shop. That was minced up beef thickened with flour and a touch of Worcestorshire ( War sest er shear ) Sauce and served on a buttered bread roll. The butter was melting over the edges as the roll was being eaten. Years later, I spent some time duplicating the taste I remember from my teenage years.

[@rolandpinette9946]

A tender moment in the Pressley homestead. I nearly spit out my water when Matt said "I haven't eaten it yet"! But he quickly turned-on the charm to let you know "you"re just a peach", Tipper! Very cute. Very playful. Very loving.

[@rolandpinette9946]

@@CelebratingAppalachia I think you two are in a good place, Tipper! With the girls spending less time at home, you may be rediscovering what attracted you to one another years ago. The first 25 years were dedicated to your family. This is your time now. May the good Lord bless you both as you enter the next phase of life.

Love the dried beef on toast. I’m 74 yr young. Long lost memory. Thank you.

[@debrahchristensen9528]

Chipped beef was a staple growing up! A variation that my Mom would do was "creamed egg" on toast...same gravy but instead of putting meat in, she would hard boil eggs and chop them up into the gravy - ate it over toast or biscuits!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Sounds great!

[@lisab1543]

my mom would make this too, except she would slice the eggs and put a little bit of sugar in the white sauce.

[@ixchelkali]

Goodness, I'd forgotten all about that. My mom did that, too. I haven't thought of that in years.

[@steveschierholz5272]

My mom did same thing. But it always had chipped beef or weiners

[@carmarasmussen8118]

Creamed eggs on biscuits....so yummy! 😋😋😋 My mom also chunked up canned corned beef and added it to a white sauce along with frozen peas. Then we would spoon it over baked potatoes. YUM!

[@CC-te5zf]

In the Philippines my wife's family calls white bread "pan loaf." I grew up in GA eating "creamed chip beef on toast." I still keep a jar of dried meat in the pantry for those quick meals.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you for sharing that 😀

[@sylamore1961]

Yep, that's what we always called it too. I'm in Arkansas.

[@mitchmatthews6713]

My 89 year old mom still makes chipped beef on toast for me at least once per month. She adds peas as well. One of my favorite dishes period!

[@Sweetpea1128]

When my parents were kids and in my early childhood, “healthy” meant “food in your stomach” in my family. Now, they measure and quantify all the parts of a food. My Dad made this but my Mom didn’t. I do remember her toasting white bread in the oven because we didn’t have a toaster. Thanks for sharing this. ❤️

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Glad you enjoyed it 😀

I grew up with mom making Schmooey on toast. Tuna, can of cream of celery with a can of milk, and a hunk of Velveeta. I don't like tuna, so I started making it as an adult with canned chicken breast, cream of chicken with herbs + milk, pepper, and some Velveeta. Either way, just throw it all in a pan and melt together and pour over toast. I'm a Nebraska/Kansas girl.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you for sharing!

[@christinej2358]

My mom use to make chip beef gravy like you do. I never tried to make it myself but use to buy these frozen boiling bags of chip beef and gravy. I put mine on toast too. You make it look so easy to make the gravy. I’ll have to try it sometime. Matt is so funny when he teases you. It was sweet he gave you a hug on camera. Most guys don’t want to show their love side on camera, so that was sweet. Thank you for sharing y’all’s family recipe.

I loved this one, Tipper! Matt reminded me of my late husband who loved teasing me so much! Your meal looked delicious and I’ll bet the cake was, too!

[@metoki2011]

I didn’t grow up eating SoS, but made it later in life after hearing about it for years. I bought dried beef from the Mennonite store nearby. I thought it was delicious as it was, but looked for recipes and came across the recipe for SoS. I thought the history was interesting and decided to try it. My Appalachian country girl tastebuds were thrilled by the taste. The recipe I found was an Army recipe and didn’t call for the dried beef to be browned first, but it was SO SO good! I serve it with toasted white bread and scrambled eggs to make it extra filling, but I love the idea of summer ripe tomatoes and cucumbers to brighten it. In todays economy I haven’t been able to splurge on the Mennonite dried beef, but I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try an SoS recipe. My 12 y.o. grandson happily ate plain old biscuits and gravy this past weekend, but he did ask when he could have SoS again. As a person who did not grow up eating gravy on toast ever, I will say SoS was so good and tasty and definitely not a waste of light bread!

🌿🌹🌿 Boy, it was special when we all went to Limestone, Tennessee to Dad's homeplace. We always stopped at High Point Diner off rt 340, before 81 was built. (HP is still there)! I always ordered chipped beef on bisquits. Made me feel like a grown-up. It's the one time a year that we went to a restaurant! We had milk gravy bread at home, which was good with ham or bacon on the side.God bless🌹(Maryland)

[@TimSmith1960]

Our recipe- 2 table spoons butter, quarter cup onion, 8 oz. cubed cream cheese, half cup milk, quarter cup parmesan cheese sprinkle, 2 packs 8 ounce chipped beef cut, 1 jar 8 oz. drained sliced mushrooms, stir and heat through until thick. Serve over 2 buttered white toast. Momma’s recipe from Lumberton NC. Great flavor. Give it a try. Love watching your family’s KZbin channels. God Bless

We called it Creamed Chipped Beef. We always tore the toast up into bite-size pieces and then put the gravy over it. Sure is good stuff! Thanks for sharing :)

[@surrethauebel1682]

As you, I learned to make this from my husband after we married. My yankee husband likes creamed chipped beef for breakfast. We’ve never eaten it for supper. I think I’ll surprise him tomorrow and serve it for dinner. A plate of sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and cantaloupe is the perfect side dish.💕

[@cathysolinsky5193]

I am 74 and I grew up with this meal and it is one of my favorite comfort meals to this day. it is also one of my daughters favorites. We put it over boiled potatoes but my husband likes it over toast, probably due to his years in the air force. Thanks for such a comfort meal.

[@maryboekehill4887]

My husband, after more than 25 years in the US Army, has 3 distinct variations that were served in mess halls in the US and (West)Germany (he’s that old!). To Roger, Hamburger Gravy can be served on toast, rice, or baked or mashed potatoes. Sausage Gravy is served on biscuits. SOS is made with dried beef like you do it, or I more often get sliced medium roast beef deli meat (cuts down a little on the salt) served over toast. When we have leftover pot roast, I’ll use leftover gravy and serve over mashed or baked potatoes, rice, bread or toast. These are truly comfort foods to him. (Tuna gravy? Never!) I loved this video! Thank you!

[@JonCraneTV]

Tipper: You have evoked my late Mother with this video because for her creamed chipped beef was comfort food. She passed away five years ago this summer at the age of 92 and she ate this and a few other "throw-back" staples in her diet right to the end. However, I should add, Mom got it out of a can! It is good for me to know that the love for this old school dish is shared by others, yourself included. I thank you. Jon

[@steveniemyer9288]

My wife’s grandfather ate this all the time. He just bought the frozen ore made chipped beef and gravy from the store and put it on toast. I’m sure he would have loved this version too.

[@SammiGirl-bx1th]

Oh my goodness Matt is the sweetest husband ...that hug!! AWE!!! Love watching you guys!! ❤

[@joanbarber6289]

This meal totally had me missing my folks. Dad was from rural Missouri and Mom from Connecticut. Not sure which one suggested we have chipped beef on toast. Mom's ancestors came from England and they ate everything on toast but Dad's family had southern roots and knew how to stretch a meal. Like you, I just saw it as comfort food.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Joan 😀

Thank you so much!

[@ericwooden7304]

My mom and grandma always made it with “Buddig” chipped beef (wafer meat) that is sold refrigerated in bags. We ate it a lot growing up. We always tore our toast up in pieces and made a pile of the torn pieces to put the gravy over. When I got married, my wife made her family’s version using the dried beef in a jar like you used. Holy cow that was salty! I still make “chip beef on toast” quite often when I need to use up milk or white bread. I still use Buddig beef but now add a tablespoon or so of chicken bouillon to my gravy for a nice flavor boost. I typically don’t allow my roux to darken as much as my normal gravies and always use a little Lawry’s season salt to taste on my serving.

[@lynnjohnson9548]

On the rare occasions my Dad would cook, this is what he made. He had been a cook in the army and this may have been a holdover from that part of his life. We liked it but I haven't had it for 50 years. I'm going to make it and see if it is still as good. We love your videos, thank you!

[@mwhyte1979]

Gotta admit that I wasn't a big fan of SOS when I was a kid. Course after I went into the service I learned real quick to appreciate all of my mom's cooking. Loved the video.

My grandmother learned this recipe, made with ground beef and water instead of milk, when she worked in a high school cafeteria. We call it "school gravy." When I went vegan 16 years ago I modified the recipe to use veg crumbles instead of meat. It's pretty tasty stuff.

[@teresakeith5539]

My mom always made this but we called it creamed beaf on toast. You used to be able to buy this in a "boil and serve" baggie from the frozen section of the grocery store! We also ate creamed tuna on toast with cheese and tomato on top and put under the oven broiler for a minute! Yum! As always, thanks for the walk down memory lane♡

[@DiscoCatsMeow]

My momma's family came to southern Missouri from Jefferson Co. Tennessee after my 3rd great grandfather died during the Civil War. He was buried here, so all the women and kids moved here and homesteaded land from the RR. (His widow, Granny Jane was 26, 3 kids and pregnant and moved here in a wagon in winter) I've been watching your videos and I never realized how much of the food that I grew up with, is Appalachian food. I never really thought about it before. It's just recipes that have been handed down forever. I do remember growing up in the '70s and '80s wondering why my friends didn't eat the stuff we did when I went to their house. ( Turnips, lettuce with hot grease,home canned everything ...ect Thank you for your channel.

[@tracybingham7739]

I was just telling my girlfriend (from east of Asheville NC) about the SOS I was introduced to as a child by my friends mom who was from Oklahoma!! My NC girlfriend hadn’t heard of it before - only sausage gravy with biscuits. I just shared your video because I’m sure you explained it much better. The only difference is I was told to use hamburger meat. I’ve actually never heard of or even seen until now dried beef. I grew up in NJ and now live in upstate NY. I love learning all about your culture. My son lives in Asheville so we are having fun learning about the people and the land in your amazing state. Thank you for sharing your life and history!!

Born in 1952 we always had a garden and I never went to sleep in a dirty bed or home! We had a square wash tub where we'd take our baths, Mamma would heat the water on our wood stove and we 3 little ones would use the same tub, however, the elder kids would take turns in their tub water!

My grandmother made chipped beef gravy. Loved it. The first thing I ever learned how to cook was buttermilk biscuits. Today the "buttermilk" at the store isn't the same. My mother made regular gravy out of whatever we had, like leftover bacon grease or beef drippings, or deer steak drippings, or sausage. I had a local peach today, so now I'll be thinking of you =)

I'm at my mom would always have some kind of sweetening on the table she would make what she called sweet bread she would make it from any leftover she had from leftover oatmeal I donut I leftover biscuit and add whatever she had like raisins or nuts or anything else that she could think of to put in it even light bread every loaf she made was always different but I loved every kind she would call me over and we would have coffee even at a young age I loved coffee and eat her sweet bread I've tried to make sweet bread that is never turned out as good as mammaw Thank you so much for keeping the good things to mind

[@carlking8530]

My mother made this often while I was growing up, and all through her life. When you use butter, flour and milk to make gravy its called creamed gravy. We always bought dried beef in a jar, after the beef was gone we washed the jars and used them for juice or milk glasses. I still make this, only I make the gravy first and then add the chipped beef at the end. The dried beef in jars has gotten pretty expensive, so I subbed dried beef that comes in a pack, last I bought was about .70 cents a pack, I believe the brand is Budges. Of course back in the day a lot of things came packaged in jars, and my mother washed them and we used them for drinking glasses. We had snuff jars, jelly jars, I can't remember what else. I still have a few of the old snuff jars up in the cabinet.

Chipped beef is one of the meals that reminds me of home . It was such a favorite that mom always made it Christmas morning for us. I have tried to make it for my husband but he won’t even try it. More for me .❤️❤️❤️

For a less expensive option than the dried beef, I use the Carl Budding beef in the lunch meat section to make my chipped beef in toast. One packet is plenty for my hubby and myself.

Flash back to my childhood. I haven't had chippedbeef gravy in years. I need to get on the ball and make it soon. Thank you Tipper, you're a gem.😊

I grew up eating Chipped beef on toast. I loved it. Every time mom would come to visit, after I married, I would have her make it. Thanks for the memory.

[@DonaldwFowlerjr]

Brings back fond memories. Mom served that. I keep chipped beef in my pantry. Comfort food

[@lynnclark4208]

Thank you Tipper! As always you're a wonderful hostess. You and Matt have a wonderful evening. 🙋

[@staceymurphy3397]

Aww this brings back so many memories for my family called it SOS and my pawpaw use to make it for us then after he passed my daddy made it every Christmas Eve so we would always celebrate my pawpaw!

[@kristychavez2149]

I love how he loves you!😊❤️

My mom made this in the winter with canned milk. Pantry staple for when the weather was bad. She also made the ground beef one. These were often served over mashed potatoes. Small fact: SOS in Army is with chipped beef as they were travelling on the ground. SOS in Navy is ground beef because ships had fridges. Do love your cooking segments.

I remember this well, but haven’t made it in awhile. As you talked about, my mama soaked it sometimes before frying it. My parents and my sister are gone, so I don’t have them to talk over these memories, but watching your channel brings me joy. Thanks!

[@nancycookboneske9822]

My husband loves it! I make it when I’m short of time just like you do. I just run it under the water for a bit to get some of the salt off and cut it up. I enjoy watching to see how others cook. Thank you for sharing!

[@loripretti843]

I grew up on chipped beef on white toast!!! You are absolutely right it is a comfort food!!! I love it and haven't had it in years!!! Thank you for reminding me about it!!! God Bless!!!

[@robertaspeyer6372]

My mom used to make this. My husband didn't grow up with it and is not a fan. When he goes out of town it's one of my go to recipes. I like to add chopped pimento's and frozen peas too and make a butter roux first then add the meat. Loved watching you two kid around!

[@beckyferguson284]

Here in New Zealand toast/bread always has butter on before any toppings! When I was a kid we'd have a Sunday roast and on Monday wed have the left over meat with gravy on toast for dinner. This reminded me of that 🙂

[@kennethhall5070]

Never had that at home as a youngin but did have it in the military when we weren't in the field. You're an awesome cook Tipper and Matt looks like he enjoys everything you cook. You guys are awesome. I love all of the videos and I'm grateful for the way they take me back home.

That looks sooooo yummy! The cantaloupe looks juicy and delicious too. My husband really liked chipped Beef, as he remembered it from his childhood. His Grand parents were Homesteaders in North Dakota back in the mid-1800's. My husband has gone to his Lord and Savior 20 years ago. Every now and then I still make this dish.. It brings back sweet memories for me.

[@lindamcgee3651]

That was one of my husband's favorites. I was used to eating chicken ala king on toast. I adore watching you and Matt. Living, Laughing, and Loving 💕 🤗. God is good 🙏 Have a blessed week.

[@shelleyclott6130]

Hi Tipper, We had SOS a lot when I was little. We all loved it. We even had just bread & gravy sometimes when money was extra super tight. We loved that, too, and didn’t seem to realize it had anything to do with being poor. Now as an adult, I make them both and definitely think of them as comfort foods. Here in Canada, nobody seemed to have ever heard of SOS, but now my very Canadian family loved it too. Take care and thanks for sharing.

[@patbarlen2764]

Brings back memories. Mom made all three varieties. Thanks Tipper

[@babaandthebean8564]

One of my favorite breakfasts!!! I usually have at least 2 Stouffers frozen creamed chipped beef in my freezer at any given time. I call it my Guilty Pleasure lol. My Mom used to make it and I don't consider the ground beef version real SOS. Only dry chipped beef for this girl. She also made the creamed tuna version but then she loved to cream everything; peas, cabbage, cauliflower, and another favorite of mine, creamed salt cod over potatoes. When I make my own I make a white sauce first and then add the beef but I'm going to try your way. I think browning meat always adds flavor.

This was always a treat my mom would make for us on Sunday mornings. Very nostalgic. Oh and…Deeelicious! 😋
