Gravy and Beef on Bread Shingle
*Notation: This is not the classic or original version of Due south.O.S. This is a reimagined version. If you are looking for the original recipe for creamed chipped beefiness on toast (Besides known equally Southward.O.S., Shit on a shingle, stuff on toast, or by whatsoever of its other very colorful names, please follow this link to The Classic Version of Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast. Thanks!)
It's time to begin the comfort food makeovers! I mentioned that I would be doing so this twelvemonth, and I'm not nigh to let Y'all down.
I know I can't be the only one who grew up eating S.O.S., too known every bit Creamed Beef on Toast, or Shit on a Shingle. As a kid it was 1 of my favorite dishes, since it was only made occasionally. (I don't think my female parent really enjoyed it all that much, merely my father did.)
I'g non sure if my liking for this dish stemmed more from the fact that I could usually manage to skid in one expletive word without getting in too much trouble, or the fact that anything that included beef and cream is something I find strangely wondrous.
My mother's version of SOS was always made using cream of celery soup (Yeah, condensed, from a tin.) Ii pounds of hamburger, and possibly an onion or two tossed in for skillful measure. Near of the recipes I've seen that utilize canned soup call for cream of mushroom, but my mother had issues digesting them, so they were never a staple in my babyhood home.
The original recipe calls for neither celery or mushrooms, so I may take drifted completely off course with this update/remake, but I don't recall so.
I toyed with the idea of naming this dish "Chier sur un bardeau", merely why rename Shit on a shingle to the same affair in a different language? It is what information technology is, a food staple that caught on in the U.Southward. (And England besides, I believe.) during the start and second world wars and the great low.
Inexpensive, filling and at least somewhat tasty. It provided a lot of sustenance for very picayune money, and gave the family something hot and satisfying to share around their table. In that respect, Shit on a shingle (Or but S.O.S., if you aren't comfortable tossing four-letter of the alphabet words around your dinner table) is condolement food at its very all-time.
For me, it'due south a reminder of a different era, time spent with my mother and sister in the kitchen, and the adept and bad times that followed. In short, even though this is an updated version of the original, information technology takes me home. It's likewise quite messy, which makes for giggles at my current table, where my married woman and I endeavour not to get too much of the sauce on our faces!
Bask anybody!

What I would have done differently
I think a petty Pecorino Romano sprinkled over the top would be a dainty addition, as would a scrap of fresh parsley mixed in the sauce at the concluding minute for freshness.
