There are a few versions of this classic recipe, but this one is close to what I grew up with. The main ingredient, dried beef, might be hard to find in some areas. On the east coast my mom would buy it at the meat counter. Now on the west coast, I can only find the Hormel brand in a jar (Walmart). Make sure you rinse meat under cold water prior to cooking to remove the overly salty taste.

“Shit on THE shingle”? The name of this dish, always, forever, and everywhere, is shit on _A_ shingle. Square yourself away, and stop sullying the name of this incomparable military Food of the Gods. Now: PUSH-UPS. BEGIN.

Y’all are crackin me up!! I do have to say though that this dish is STILL one of my FAVORITES.

Good stuff my dad use to make it years ago we lost him in 1994 and today I ask my mom if she could remember how to make it. She wasn’t sure but I found it on here and made some right away brings back some good memories of my dad. Thanks for a great video
Your welcome Mike!
We just had for breakfast and so yummy!! Mom made for us and she got the receipt from Daddy when he was in WWII and Korean War. I carried it on along with my brother when he and my husband were in Vietnam. It’s now a favorite go to a couple times a year for a lite breakfast or dinner. PS Don’t forget to rinse meat or it will be too salty!!
Always love a great SOS story. Yes, always wash before making!!
mmm. I just made this for brunch today. I haven’t had SOS since I was a kid. It’s the only thing my Dad knew how to cook. I have never made it, so had to search for a recipe. Thanks for sharing it.
Glad it worked out! Mmmmm
I’m making this tonight can’t wait to get home from work
Enjoy!
