Chipped beef on toast is a uniquely American dish that has been around since the early 20th century. It’s often enjoyed for breakfast or as a quick snack, and it goes well with a variety of side dishes.

Growing up, my mom would make chipped beef on toast for my siblings and me whenever we had a big family breakfast. Back then, we used to call it ‘shit on a shingle’ and mom would always serve it with bacon or eggs on the side.

As I got older, I started to experiment with different side dishes.
