You have probably heard of it and wondered what it was. You may have also heard it called “shit on a shingle.”
It’s a very simple and quick meal to make. After all, it only requires 4 ingredients to make the gravy in 10 minutes or less.
Not only that, it’s incredibly cheap!
I typically pay around $0.80 USD per packet of Buddig’s dried beef slices, and the rest of the ingredients I already have on hand.
