Growing up, we ate this dish often – and it’s no wonder why. My mom, admittedly, doesn’t like cooking. This particular meal would take her just minutes to make and satisfied the whole family. It was cheap too, and didn’t require many ingredients.

About The Recipe: Chipped Beef On Toast

Chipped beef on toast consists of a creamy white sauce with chopped dried beef, served on top of toast. Nothing fancy. But satisfying just the same.

This dish is commonly served to servicemen in the military, where they call it something other than chipped beef on toast – with an acronym of S.O.S. I’ll leave it at that.

This dish takes no more than 10 minutes, start to finish. Give it a try yourself – it might become a family favorite!
