Shit on a Shingle Recipe
Shit on a Shingle made with creamed, chipped beef is a classic American military dish. This recipe makes enough for one person for lunch or a light supper; you can easily multiply this recipe as needed. We've tried to make it just a bit healthier than normal by lightening up the white sauce.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Chop up the chipped beef roughly, set aside.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat along with a few dashes of ground pepper (optional: a dash of ground nutmeg, a pinch of onion powder or a tablespoon of minced onion, a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, a squirt of mustard.) Don't let the butter brown. As soon as it's just all melted, add the flour, and whisk it in. Let cook for a minute, then whisk in half the milk. As soon as it's absorbed, whisk in the remainder of the milk, then stir in the chipped beef, and set the heat to low.
- Pop the bread in the toaster. When it's toasted, arrange the two slices of toast and spoon the beef mixture on top of both.
- Serve piping hot.
- If you're serving for lunch or dinner, add some side veg for a complete meal.
Notes
You can use white or brown bread. If you aren't counting calories, regular milk is fine -- we just tried to make the dish a bit lower in calories. 1/3 cup is about 3 oz or 75 ml. Feel free to use a bit more to make the sauce runnier if you like. Feel free to adjust and play with seasoning; most people seem to feel it's salty enough from the beef without adding more salt.
Nutrition Notes
7 Weight Watchers PointsPlus® a serving for 2 pieces of toast with the sauce on it.
We used bread that was 2 points for 2 slices, and chipped beef that was 2 points for 55 g. The white sauce with skim milk is 3 points, making a total of 7 points. (Tip! A packet of Coleman’s white sauce made up with water instead of milk, then nuked for 2 to 3 minutes, tastes the same, and is only 2 points for 1 1 /4 cups / 300 ml).
