"An easy way to make an old favorite. We like ours with some white pepper added. From my disintegrating Best-Loved Pennsylvania Dutch Recipes booklet. NOTE: This dish is not for those who are salt-restricted. Soak the dried beef in water first if you wish to remove some saltiness. Prep time is a guess-timate and includes cooking time. (I will make this again and confirm)."

Questions & Replies

It has made my day to find your recipe! I have been making Chipped Beef for decades but it is your use of the word "frizzled" that has brought a smile. My mother, born 1918, called this dish "Frizzled Chipped Beef". I have never heard anyone else use that word. Our family has lived in the Baltimore area for generations, which, as you know, is just down the road from Lancaster County. I have not found any connection with the Amish or even Pennsylvania, but I have discovered other quaint words mom used are from the Pennsylvania Dutch. You have given me another piece of the puzzle to understanding the people I am descended from. Thank you!

I too grew up in Pennsylvania but we called this "SOS" - Sh** on a Shingle, lol! We make it just as listed but with some worschester sauce added in, about 1-2tsp.

Growing up in Pennsylvania I have always loved this for breakfast (my mom called it "dried beef and gravy") I will say I have had a hard time finding good dried beef in New Mexico. But that just makes me enjoy it even more when i visit my parents! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
